Hi!

I just developed "local"(or "desktop") apps for almostly all the time.by C++ with framework QT or MFC in visual studio.

Now My client want the app which I developed with QT to be web aware.but the app is originally designed to run locally on just one pc.

The need is sth like : the app put on one pc to be a server(link to the internet),the other pc can connect to it by internet and send some request to the app that's always running on the server.if possible sent some data or documents back to the requester.

any hint ? or link or tutorial will be appreciated!

You have just to modify (or redesign) your application as server (in a client/server architecture). MSDN provides all you need[^].
