Tranfer from a client to a web server?

var client = new System.Net.WebC lient();
client.UploadFi le(sUrl, sFilePath);

Note this uses a POST so the web server would need a script on the other end
to recieve and process the file.

More specific instructions require more specific description of the job.

What is the difference between :

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.UploadFi le(url,path);

And the option of using:

HttpWebRequest myReq =
(HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate(httpPath);

for the purpose of uploading zip file to some http location?

Thank you!

The second option is used to *download*, not upload a file from that location.

Not necessarily.

(Http)WebReques t is perfectly capable of sending a POST request
that uploads data.

WebClient is a very high level class that provides some
convenience methods.

(Http)WebReques t is a more low level class (but still way
above TcpClient) that gives you access to headers and
streams.
