hello folks, i'm new to your list and find your discussions enriching.
i'm implementing a intranet based general purpose program for communication between users, implemented with jdk1.3/swing.
if i want to enable file transfers between clients logged into the server, which is the better implementation for the actual data transfer?
- p2p - this may not work behind firewalls, with applets - client->server->client - on the same socket - might result in congestion/messy implementation because of mixed file+other traffic - client->server->client - on a dedicated socket.
all ur suggestions are most welcome.
