I am wanting too write a server application that runs on my server and opens a socket to listen for client connections. Then on each client machine you have an application that opens a socket connection to the server and downloads the latest master list (or just the changes since a certain date). Or i could have the client application connect whenever the machine is booted, or at a certain time each day, or it could maintain a constant connection and receive live updates. That would depend on how big my network is. Can someone help me And the process of which i'm wanting it too do is...
