    Is it a static ip?
    If it is static a quick solution would be: Making a bat file and putting this in it:
    yourgame.exe -connect 127.0.0.1

    Or if you wanna call it by code use this line:
    connect($JoinGameAddress);

    it is a static so is there a file I can put the IP in so I can compile it into my client installer so I can give it to a friend and see if he can loginto my game and check it out?

    If you just want to test the dedicated server, i recommend just making the bat file and writing
    yourgame.exe -connect 127.0.0.1
    in it. It is the fastest way to set it up afaik.
    Else create a gui file with a button where it says (pseudo) onClick do: connect($JoinGameAddress);
    Edit: Of course changing the yourgame.exe to the name of your executable and change 127.0.0.1 to your ip address.

    Btw, chances are your friend is not gonna be able to connect to your server.
    You will probably be blocked by your router unless he connects over lan. If he connects over the internet you will need to bypass your router or any other firewall that might be blocking your game.
    If he connects over lan you should be fine.

    You don't need the source files(like the sdks and vc++), you only need them for compiling.
    --
    Depends on your server setup, if you are running something like a VPS i believe you can use ftp to transfer new maps to the server.
    I think you have to be the local client to access the world editor tools.
    But you can try to access the world editor remotely and see what happens.

    To start a dedicated server via a bat file:
    mygame.exe -dedicated -mission "levels/Empty Room.mis"

    The ip is tcp i believe.

    An example of where your level could be:

    ./game/mygame.exe
    ./game/levels/mymission.mis

    Then in the bat write:
    mygame.exe -dedicated -mission "levels/mymission.mis"
