Howdy everybody!  
I was wondering, is it at all possible, to create a Windows Application, install it on two different computers, and using an IP address connect the two computers over the internet, and have one of them save an XML file on the other?  Is that possible with the .NET framework?
Thanks!

it is, but the question is how. there is security setting issue here, A might not have the necessary permission to write to B.
i would suggest the use web services, so A and B use a common web service to work with

Erymuzuan,

Actually, this has nothing to do with security (NOTE: Unless, of course, you build it in)

In essence, what is being asked is "How do I create a Peer to Peer connection" OR "How do I create a Client\Server". There are so many different ways that this could be accomplished and I can't give anything specific until I knew more about the problem.

But trust me, when transporting over TCP\IP it has nothing to do with security as whether or not this can be done. Rather, the way security would work in this scenerio is that it would need to be added to the applications to control WHO can access.  Because once you open yourself to the internet, your screwed. Anyone can get in if there is no Authentication built into the connection and even then, that can be hacked. That's why there are things called firewalls! :)
