I'm needing to create two programs, a client and a server that will take a file via command line parameter, compress, encrypt and send it from one computer to another (possibly over the Net) and decrypt, decompress and save file in original form. In Delphi I would probably use some of the ICS components, but seem to have problems compiling. It seems there is a socket unit in FPC with examples, but I haven't managed to get the 2.0.4 version working on my XP machine - doesn't seem to be firewall problem. For now the two programs don't need a GUI interface. Reason I need to make the programs is because ftp server is too insecure. I'm busy trying to get the latest versions of FPC to see if it works with them.
Any advice is welcome, thanks Stephen *----------------------------------------------------------------------- This E-Mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
