Hi all,
Have written a small client app to transfer a text file to a server
running on another pc in the LAN...
This works beautifully!! Not that difficult to do over a LAN right ?
So My concerns deal with WAN communication.. .
- What security issues must i cater for (like firewalls) and how do I
do that ?
- If my server app will be running in another building on its own LAN
of 5 pcs, how do i differentiate it from the other 4 pcs...
In my LAN all i had to do was specify the IP address and port and
didnt have to worry about firewalls, user authentication or
subnet-masks... Do I have to now with the WAN?
Thanks
Chris
