I need to transfer a file between two computers using https protocol using a java code. I have no idea where to start at. Is transfer using socket the only way ? Do I necessarily need to have a code running on the server and one on the client ?
If you already have https server (apache, IIS…) on the machine you want to download from than you will need only the client. Unless your requirement is to write code for both server AND client.
On a general note: YES, in order to transfer file(s) between 2 computers over https you need BOTH server and client.
