Upload Files to Web Server From Windows App

[Matt Tapia]

I was wondering if it was possible in a windows app form to select a file
from my local desktop and post it to a web server using a web service or the
like. Any clues, or am I better off creating a web form for them to upload
the file?

Thanks!

You could upload it using FTP, for example:
