I'm willing to compare a textfile (whatever) which contains a few lines of text. After the comparison it should download and replace the "changed" folder/file. E.g.
(Local txtFile)
maps: 1.0.0
db1: 1.0.0
db2. 1.0.0
(Server txtFile)
maps: 1.0.1
db1: 1.0.0
db2. 1.0.0
I'm making a game in Gamemaker and i'm using VS2010 to create a launcher for it. The launcher works like the Minecraft launcher:
it has to check a file from my server, then compare it to the local file, and if they aren't the same, the launcher has to re-download the game.exe from the server.
This all has to happen when i click play. To make the game start i use
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "\game.exe") i've put the game in the solution explorer.
put 'copy to output directory' to 'copy always'. i appareantly had to do that according to a tutorial to launch game.exe. Now, as i've said, i'm quitte new to VS 2010.
I have this Class:
vb
Imports System.IOImports System.NetImports System.Text Public Class TEST Public Shared DOWNLOAD_LINK As String Public Shared Downuri As String Public Shared Sub Main() Dim URI As String URI = "http://MYWEBSITE.COM/test.html" Dim wr As
[code]....
As you can see this class get the .html text and copy to one .txt file. Then it reads the .txt file. Now I just need to compare the string it read with one string from another form... How do I do it? Do I need to change the code?

So my program allows people to download/upload text files from an FTP server... But... is this safe? I've always been a little scared with FTP because I fear that some lowlife is gonna hack into it. Is there another way to do this? Or is there a way to make this connection much safer?

How can i do this? Does this mean that i have to write a web application cuz i hope not. I dont no anything about those. I am using that server for storage purposes only so i assumed that i didnt need a database for the name of the document.
So, how can i do this? Is there an existing class/package in vb.net that does something like this?

I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.
I have made one application for needs of my company.It is published on company's server and it is possible to use the APP only in company because access db is on local server as well.Now I have small update and when users want to update APP they get this error.
