How to get the client IP address from the request made to webservice

Question

I have a webservice hosted in my IIS... I need to find out the clientIP address when the client use my service directly

like http://MyIpAddress/MyApplication/MyWebServiceClass.asmx

and is it possible to read file from the client machine? If so how can I do it?

Answer 1

Try calling

Request.UserHostAddress

HttpRequest.UserHostAddress Property

With regards to accessing a file from the client, this would need be achieved by first uploading the file to the server.

Checkout the following on uploading files to a web service:

ASMX file upload
