In what way?  What error message? 

You don't actually need to install the packages to run the demo, it creates the
components at run time.

Probably very, very old. 

There are two sample application with the main ICS distribution: 
OverbyteIcsSender
and OverbyteIcsRecv which send and receive a file, but you are then responsible 
for
all the extra overhead which FTP does for you. 

The TMagFtp component is only a client, you still need an FTP server to receive 
your
files.  You can use one off the shelf, like FileZilla Server, or write your own 
with
the ICS FTP Server component, if you need to process the files as they arrive. 

I wrote a complex application a while back that had three servers sending 
multiple
files to 500 vehicles, and collecting files from those vehicles, over wifi and 
ADSL,
it used a combination of FTP clients and servers, and a custom client/server SQL
protocol that controlled everything, and reported the status of the 500 
vehicles on
web pages every minute. TMagFtp, TMagFileCopy and several of my other components
(like SMART, WMI, CheckDisk, IpHlp) were originally written (and paid for) by 
that
project.

Hi Angus,

 

Thank you for coming back to me

 

Please find below the requested clarifications:

 

Which web site? 

The main web site for Magenta Systems File Transfer Components is: 

I tried to load MagentaXferXE4Run.dpk and MagentaXferXE4Design.dpk packages
into Delphi XE7 unsuccessfully

What would be the appropriate installation procedure?

 

No idea what you mean by 'SendFile'.

This is an example of using ICS from the "Overbyte / Products / User Made"
web page

 

Regards

Bob

Which web site?  The main web site for Magenta Systems File Transfer
Components is: 

 

 
http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magxfer.asp

 

However the last update there was 18 months ago with packages for XE4.  No
reason to believe it will not work with later releases without change, it
does here, and a new version is due next month now an ICS SSL package issue
has been fixed (this week).  

 

No idea what you mean by 'SendFile'.

ICS has two web server sample, simple web server and application web server,
either will suffice, the second does more, an example is: 

 

 
https://telecom-tariffs.co.uk/serverinfo.htm

 

which is a Delphi ICS application using SQL server.

[twsocket] Some questions for you

[Bob Baudewyns]

Hi there,

 

My last Delphi development was years ago using Delphi 2010.

Having more free time now, I decided to start over with XE 7 trial for fun

I'll consider purchasing the upgrade licence if I still enjoy it

 

I do have a project that requires your assistance as I don't have any
expertise in networking & web developments

 

My requirements are:

 

1. Files transfer between computers running Windows 7 or 8

I should have several remote workstations (laptops) that need to transfer
files (photos) to a central desktop PC on the same network through Wi-Fi

Photos can be quite large (5 MB) with up to 12 photos sent by each laptop
every minute

A limited number of files might also be transferred back from the central PC
to each remote laptops.

In other word, it must be fully bi-directional.

Each transfer must be very reliable, secure and fast.

 

I have investigate several solutions to find a way to do this.

According to some forums, Indy components are not enough reliable.

After discovering ICS, I have tried to load and run Magenta Systems File
Transfer components and samples or SendFile from your web site

None of them can be compiled with ICS V8.16 out of the box.

 

Do you have any recommendation/suggestion or pointing me to a working
example/source code for such requirement?

 

2. Web server

My application needs to expose a multipage dashboard with statistics that
can be viewed remotely with a simple browser over Internet.

Do you have any recommendation/suggestion or pointing me to a working
example/source code for such integrated light web server?

 

Thank you in advance for your help and support

 

Cheers

Bob
