I would like to send data over internet through a desktop application. I know a little bit about sockets. I have transferred the data within the LAN, but now I want to transfer the data over the internet. What is the best way to transfer both large and small quantities of data?

My system is connected to the server which has the access to the internet. My system’s IP address is dynamic. I don’t know how to send the data to another system which is connected to the internet. Do I need to find the router address? (My IP address is generated as 192.168.1.15).

Is using a socket enough, or is HTTP required?

  1. Socket is enough if no firewalls/proxies are involved.

    But, as Internet is involved (not the fastest connection), I suggest for the sake of convenience you should better opt for remoting over http. That way, even if in the future the setup changes, and firewalls/proxies get involved in the equation, you should not worry.
