Programming ability question

ressem

Sounds like a frontend to the command line "net" command is what he wants, by default creating an smb share on each client, with a client specific name, uses net view for discovery, makes a smb hole in any XP firewalled machines it's installed on, and readds the file support for net send, sensibly removed by MS for security reasons.

At least looking through the windows help files for net (Not .NET btw) might give him a reference point for further discussion.

1. If you want to program such from a programming point of view... and seeing as you have used VB, why not use the winsock control on a form etc...

2. Otherwise, the OS has loads of tools and methods...

Listen If you want a nice little program that anyone can open on their desktop and sellect some files in an easy to use GUI and then send them to the shared folder in someone elses computer then I will be able to do the for you for arround €50.

Otherwise you could learn to code which can take quite some time or you can use the suggested batch file method. Personally I dont like batch files myself. I just dont like the look of the icon or something.

PM me if your interested and we will talk more.

The feature mutant fruit described is exactly one of the abilitys this program requires, but not so the end user can navagate nor administrate, the product will have a completly profesional look and feel, ALMOST microsoft in appearance,

calpable of supporting 2 Systems + and also incoperating printer & wireless pcs access.

Reminds me of that Dilbert cartoon where the goal for Q4 is new OS to have 50% market share, and it must run on windows 95..

But if you can't explain clearly what you want then it hard to do it.
An OSI model lists 7 layers of network connections , still unsure how many you want done by the OS and how many by the app.

REM batch file to open folder "share" on other machines.
net view>netview.txt
FOR /F %%m in (netview.txt) DO if exist %%m\share\*.* start %%m\share

REM batch file to look for shares / printers
echo.>resources.txt
FOR /F %%m in (netview.txt) DO net view %%m >>resources.txt
for /F %%a in (resources.txt) DO parse the file and then start \\%%a\printername
[/php]

i'd be interested alright. I'm a poor college student and need all the money i can get . If you could PM me (or post here) the exact specs of what you want i could make an educated guess as to how long it'd take me to do it. Spend half an hour and try to think of everything you'd like it to be able to do.

e.g. Drag and drop files to send them? Autodiscover of other people using the app on the lan? Allow app to send files over the net to remote PC(i'd recommend against this though as i'd charge more ). Default directories (more secure) or allow any directory or have an option for both?

What type of rates or total cost would someone like yourself charge ? and how long would you think something like that take to complete ?
