I think you want to send files between users. The files don't need to go in a DB, the most sensible thing is to send them directly, peer to peer, through your application, with the server telling the two instances the other users IP address.

If you want to send files through a database you need a way to store the byte data in a database, which involves storing the file in a byte array and then writing a stored procedure to accept the byte array as an argument and store it in the databse.

Assuming he wants to send the actual files, then they need to go through the central server.

Yes I agree but nothing to say that the central server couldn't post to the database then pass the other user a link to that file.
