<div>Thanks Jason,</div><div><br></div>Okay, lets say that two users are using this hypothetical application. Each user has some files on his/her system that were installed locally (as part of the installation or from disk or whatever). Lets assume that both users have the same files for the sake of this discussion. The application stores some unique identifiers for each of these files. From a high level point of view I would like the users to be able to send a list of identifiers to another user of the system over the internet to indicate which documents to view and in what order. There may also be some additional textual data involved to represent segues between the files to be viewed.<div>
<br></div><div>Being new to network programming I am not sure what the simplest way is to accomplish the task. The nature of the data being communicated is not confidential but I would like to be reasonably sure that the data is being generated and sent from the application and user in question.</div>
<div><br></div><div>How will users identify themselves to others for communication. I would like a user to be able to tell another user what his "address" is and have that user be able to enter that address into the application and use it whenever he wishes to send that particular user a sequence of id's and text to be parsed by the application.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I suppose the application will be acting as both server and client. Any thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again</div><div><br></div><div>Brian<br><div><br></div><div><br><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I think you need to define your application functionality a little<br>
more. You could be describing anything from a web app that implements<br>
a pasteboard, to a web service shuffling JSON objects around or<br>
anything in between.<br>
