Re: [twsocket] Some questions for you

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

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.  

 No idea what you mean by 'SendFile'.
 This is an example of using ICS from the Overbyte / Products / 
 User Made web page

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.

 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.

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'. 

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

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.
