Hello!

I'm rather new to Delphi programming, and wonder if anyone can give me a
hint where to start in the following project.

The program shall consist of a form laying on top of desktop and files that
are put in this form shall immediately
be sent over a Tcp/Ip LAN to a chosen directory on my second computer.

This second computer of course also has this program for full duplex.

Sounds simple?............not for me....

Regards,

Jonas

This program has been written. It is called "Windows Explorer".

I hear _Windows_-style inter-application drag & drop is actually
rather hard to do. Of course, I heard this from a guy who did it
anyway. His name is Mike Lischke, it's implemented in his Virtual
TreeView, and no, I never spoke to him personally; I read the help
file.

The remainder is easy. Configure a target directory; detect a drop;
copy the file.

Groetjes,
Maarten Wiltink

Sounds more like a class assignment to me, that's not class as in data
type ;-)

And as Maarten has already mentioned, it exists and it's called
explorer.

If it is a class assignment I would personally just write two very
small programs that simply start up explorer (explore from here style)
with the other machines download folder shown. I hated teachers giving
out pointless exercises to reinvent the wheel.

Hello!

Thanks for the tips!

I got a mail from a friend, telling me that the exact program I want already
exists:

http://www.crystalfiresw.com/products/wormhole.html

(But it sure would have been nicer to do the programming on your own)

OMG, someone is actually charging $15 per machine for this?

I think I'm missing a trick here...

"Unable to set up Appletalk on your win2k machine? Never heard of FTP?
In that case, give me you money, and I will give you the new improved
