Just sending files? Why not simply using existing Windows file sharing service? If you want to write your own, just write it. You did not show what you have tried (the section "What I have tried" is not for sharing CodeProject articles, but for showing what you have done), so there is no a way to figure out what is your problem.

One obvious option is using an available FTP server on the server side, then the other side can act as its client. This is how: FtpWebRequest Class (System.Net)[^].

Apparently, it can be HTTP, but then you would need to have some Web sever and some site installed.

As a custom way, you can use "classical" .NET remoting or newer WCF. Basically, you can host the service in IIS or self-host it, then the most adequate host would be a Windows Service Application. I would recommend to learn WCF, its knowledge should pay off sooner or later:
