sending files through the internet
hi,
I'd like to write a program that I could send files with through the internet.
first of all, it is new to me to use delphi to access the internet, I've wrote only offline programs before...
I tried to create a simple tcp connection with tcpclient and tcpserver components, but setting localhost and remotehost and port, and calling open methods didn't work (I wanted to see that tcpclient1.connected is true)...
so, please let me know how to start about getting connected, and how could I send files in the most simple way? anyway, is it a good way to use tcp protocol?
thank you for your help very much in advance!

swift99, thank you for your really fast answer :)
I'm going to download ICS and see how it looks. I'd like to do the following: this whole thing is for my thesis, I'd like to write a simplified p2p file-transfer program for schools (with one server), so they should be able to share documents, presentations, etc over the net. it is not necessary to resume files but it would be nice. first step: to send a single file... FTP would be okay, wouldn't it? I'm trying to find the most simple way possible.

ICS ... drop an FTP server onto one form and an FTP cleint onto another.
