C# send data to remote server

Question

I have a client and server in C# and currently they are only able to communicate under a local network. How do I create a remote connection?

Currently I have started looking at web services and getting to know what it can do.

I have also heard several advice such as using free hosting cloud/web server.

Is there any other methods to achieve my goal?

Can anybody guide me to the correct path?

There are several options. But what you're looking for is called IPC, or just look here.

In my opinion, using RESTful services should get you what you need.

I am sorry I cant provide you with more help , but your question can have many answers.

Hope I was some help. =)
