Hello

I've developed a chat application using WCF/ASp.net. I want to asynchronously transfer a file from one chat user to another chat user. What is best approach for this?

here are my insights/doubts

  1. Do i need a central server between two users to assist the file transfer?
  2. Can i create a direct channel without a central server?
  3. Do i need to store/upload it anywhere for file transfer?
  4. How should i make the file transfer reliable?

I've seen that already and that architecture wont suit me completely. He uses callback channel which wont work with asp.net. I'm NOT using WPF. I'm using asp.net/wcf.
