I Need A Class Tha Can Transfer Files Using Webservice On Client Machines. Plz U

I want to design a webservice that can enable me send data to and from client machine. I sed code below but it was giving me errors. I changed FileStream to StreamWriter and StreamReader, it complained about using C drive since I don't have access to it             Dim fs1 As New FileStream("C:\" & fo.Name, FileMode.Create).

When I changed  Dim fs1 As New FileStream("C:\" & fo.Name, FileMode.Create) to dim fs1 as new StreamWriter(path & fiename) and it worked but when I open the file it gives me strange xters.

Please help me look at the code below and suggest possible solutions if not a new idea.

Again it there anyway I could know scanners connected to my computer?

Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports System.IO
<WebService(Namespace:="http://mysite.org/")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> <System.Serializable()> _
Public Class Service
    Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

    <WebMethod()> _
        Public Function FilePosted(ByVal Filename As String) As String


        Try
            Dim path As String = Context.Server.MapPath("~/")
            Dim fo As New FileInfo(Filename)
            Dim fs As New FileStream(Filename, FileMode.Open)

            Dim fs1 As New FileStream("C:\" & fo.Name, FileMode.Create)
            Dim nBytes As Integer = fs.Length
            Dim ByteArray(nBytes) As Byte


            Do While Not fs.Read(ByteArray, 0, nBytes) = 0
                fs1.Write(ByteArray, 0, nBytes)
            Loop

            fs1.Dispose()
            fs.Dispose()

            Return "Success"

        Catch ex As Exception
            Return "Failed"

        End Try


    End Function



End Class

You file contains control xters (naturally), so you need to "protect" the data being transferred. Try encoding the file with Base64 encoding, that will allow you to transfer it as a string over regular HTTP. When it gets to the other end, it can then be decoded. I have written a C#/.NET app that retrieves/sends peoples pictures (JPEG files) over a webservice.

Did you ever figure out what the problem was??

I am sort of busy at this time myself as I have a deadline to meet.  Check the following articles out to help you

Nope

Reponse,  you can't access the client machine to force a file upload due to security restrictions.
The client needs to explicitely select and upload the file.

Response :

you can't,

You could try an ActiveX installed on the client, or even better would be an exe/service installed on the client.

But without somethign installed on the client you can't force the upload of a client file.
