icon Store Files

Hi

I'm trying to develop a client -server application,
where by user (client side) need to attach (upload) and view(download) files from the server machine.

which is best way to use to store my files between
1) using database to store files and
2) writing server application which will receive and send files to the clients using winsocket.

any advice will be appreciated

Hi
I'd recommend using Sockets or FTP or something rather than large blob fields. There's loads of examples, but any sockets code (chat stuff will do it) can show you how to send streams of bytes from a client app to a server app.

Hope this helps
Kieron
