[Mr Mind - Lion]

I want any sample technique ,code or any idea regarding file transfer
using UDP socket. Please send me some info.
Thanx.

The TFTP protocol is a standard which (usually) uses UDP as the transport layer. Widely used for simple file transfer (e.g. in Cisco
routers) as an alternative to the more heavyweight and complex FTP.

It's specification can be found here (RFC1350):

<http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/rfcdoctype.pl?loc=STD&letsgo=33&type=ftp&file_format=txt>

I don't know if there are any VB.NET native implementations of this protocol stack. I once did one in C and it took around one week
(the biggest challenge is keeping things in order).

Indy supports TFTP:
