How can I upload (or send) a file to another machine in vb.net?

[irene]

Hi,

I am trying to send an existing xml file to another machine(in some
other company). We seem to be able to set up the connection to each
other, but when I send the file, they never receive it. What is the
usual way to send an existing xml file to another machine,say
http://somewhere.com by vb.net? It is web application.

Thanks.

Irene

you have to know what protocol they are using. the most common are:

1) form post - xml stored as field value
2) soap call - xml passed as string parameter
3) soap attachment - xml passed as attachment (getting to be more common)
4) plain post - post data is xml
5) custom protocol
6) ftp - xml sent as ftp send
7) webdav - xml delivered as document
