Hi Kalaivanan,

That depends on wether you are writing the client or the server software.
For clients, you can use WebClient.DownloadFile, on the server you can use
Response.TransmitFile or Response.Write after specifying the proper header.

Hello, kalaivanan!

Give more context to your question, what are these client and server?

If server is a http server then WebClient.DownloadFile(...);
if ftp server then FtpWebRequest/FtpWebResponse
if its a custom server then you can use network sockets to copy data.
