Hey guys, I am having a bit of trouble. I made a little chat program for my developing team, and I was wanting them to be able to upload files directly to my computer into a certain folder, and also be able to download: only from that folder.
I just need a good shove in the right direction for this, or a heads up if this has been mentioned before(I searched, but to no avail.).
Also, as an added bonus(Optional shove), I would like them to be able to see what files are available to download in a grid control or something of the likes, just as an extra convenience.
Thanks in advance for the as-always quick responses of the Dev. Forums.

Grids for displaying files, although, you can't directly show a file in a grid.
