File management best practices

Question

Hi I am currently working on a WPF application which needs extensive file management (users should be able to upload files to a central server and download files from that server) currently i have created a fairly simple wcf based server to handle these requests.

i was wondering if there are any better ways to do this like third party apps or features in windows server, sql server, wpf that i am not aware of ...

Answer 1

For storing: Read about FILESTREAM capabilities in SQL Server 2008 for storing and accessing large files in SQL just thru file system.

For uploading/downloading: have no clue for you right now..

Answer 2

您是否考虑过将WebDAV与IIS一起使用？

Answer 3

Sql Server 2012 Has a new Feature on Top of FileStream, it's called FiledTables.

There you also have a fileshare which is syncronized with your filetable
