Can someone lead me down the correct path as to how to implement a HTTP file
transfer using the TIdHTTPServer and TIdHTTP components?

Thanks!

Any particular reason you want to use HTTP to transfer the files? Firewall
perhaps? You could do it with a simple client/server setup using the
IdTCPClient and IdTCPServer. In any case, for HTTP transfers you have
basically two options:

1. PUT (which is not implemented in IdHTTP at least).
2. Use POST.

For the second option you would have to create a server side application
that accepts file-uploads. You would also have to implement server-side
apps in the IdHTTPServer and then use IdHTTP to POST from a stream to the
server. Quite a bit of work!

Have you looked at the HTTP client and HTTP server demos?
