    sorry, thats connectionless.

    stateful:

    HTTP can occasionally pose problems for Web developers (Web Applications), because HTTP is stateless. The advantage of a stateless protocol is that hosts don't need to retain information about users between requests, but this forces the use of alternative methods for maintaining users' state, for example when a host would like to customize content for a user who has visited before. The common method for solving this problem involves the use of sending and requesting cookies.

    I'm currently writing something similar, we have a TFTP server with a list command built in, I've got to write a program that can list the files at the server and pick one to download in C++, both for windows and linux.
