I’m working on a project that has a C# app (running 24/7 as a server) on the client’s machine). This app needs to send a file as a byte stream via POST to a server I am currently hosting on my home desktop.

Can this file be received by a C# app running on my server, or does it have to be as ASP app/page?

Also, I know how to send a bytestream via POST, but how will I set my server side app to listen for this incoming data?
I have never done something like this, so I’m looking for some pointers to get me started.

Thanks

    Depending on what you need to do with the file, and when it’s uploaded, there is nothing wrong with using a tiny asp.net app to do this.

    If the only way you can get the file to the server is via http POST, why write your own service/daemon to run a listener? Unless you have some reason not to run it in IIS, I would do it there. There is the full stack available that way for authentication and so on if you should happen to need it. Besides, if you have to upload files via http post, I would bet you will end up wanting other methods available via HTTP as well..
