You don't need Desktop Manager for this purpose.

"Send file" sounds like running FTP server on your remote computer. Setup the FTP server on remote computer.

There are a lot of code samples showing how to act as an FTP client. First of all, make a search on CodeProject: FTOCient C# — will find you more than enough; Google the the same thing. Better yet, see Microsoft help on the class System.Net.FtpWebRequest: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.ftpwebrequest.aspx[^] and supplied simple and clear code samples.

Another opportunity would possibly work for you if you have a HTTP server running on your remote computer, then you could use HTTP upload. To do this, you need to create at least one upload page in the server side. If you need security, you would need HTTPS instead of HTTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS[^]).

If you can have FTP server and not very concerned about security, it's a much better and easier option.

For overview on the secure variants of FTP, you may want to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFTP[^], http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS[^], for starters.

Four changes fixed your sentence above :-).

Please pay attention for capitalization, especially words like "I", "India" or "English" as this is a matter of politeness and respect.

Thanks for trying. This is not my native language also, so I can understand. Your writing is good enough to be understood (while many questions of some other Inquirers are not understandable at all). Just doing spell check and being careful is often enough.

Careless writing, that's something hard to tolerate. Wrong spelling, no punctuation, no capitalization (or, worse, all-capital), "text speak", all careless and rush stuff is impolite, plain rude.

So, thanks for your consideration and trying the best; language will improve with experience.
In everyday light, do you write using Devanagari-based scripting, or something? Just curious...

I did not understand what's "handling all client from server", by definition server is passive and works triggered by client's request. That's why client-server is limited, so more extended architectures are made, like publisher-subscriber (highly recommend). In all cases I think you can do it all as custom as needed per requirements.

I don't know, FTP servers usually have a configuration parameter of the max size, please address to server's documentation. The limit if file size by 2 or 4 gb is natural, because 4 gb is 2^32 - 1. There is nothing impossible about file transfer above 4 gb, because you can work with 64-bit file positions. Also remember that the size can be limited by file system (FAT32 maximum file size is a bit less than 4 gb, but NTFS variants limit by some sizes less then 2^64 (2^44), which is way too much). And, by the way, FTP is relatively simple. Writing your own server and client code on top of TCP and file streams is not a problem, there are sample codes around.
