[DUG]: Simple email data transfer

[Colin Dillicar]

Hi all,   For a remote monitoring application I need to transfer a small amount (1-2k) of binary data between two computers from time to time. I seem to remember another DUG member doing a similar thing but cannot find the reference.   I suspect that the solution involved using a MIME e-mail transfer in either direction. In one instance I would need to email the remote PC and have it respond with the data I require, dependant on the nature of a command sent. In another case the remote PC would automatically send data (randomly without a request) when a certain condition existed .    At either PC I therefore need a simple SMPT program to send a message and a background POP3 task to detect an email from the remote PC and make the data available. The PCs will need to connect via PSTN and ISP and the WWW.   I want to incorporate the above process into an existing D3 program but don't want to re-invent the wheel.   Please can anyone point me to suitable code or a better/simpler method.   Cheers   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Colin R Dillicar Automation Engineering Limited
