>I have a client that has switched their network from Novell to NT4. They've also set up the server to host their website. We have been using email to transfer files from the remote locations to the main site because they originally weren't interested in full fledged internet.

>I'm wondering now though how easy is it to setup FTP (or something else) in NT so that the remote sites can transfer the data to their server and my VFP app can get to the files transferred. It needs to be reasonably secure we don't want a public anonymous ftp site. The only thing I've ever done with ftp is download files or used it to maintain my father's website from here.

I downloaded WWipstuff class library from Westwind (of Rick Strahl fame). I got the FTP working sending and receiving files in about 2 hours (if I'd known what I was doing it would have been 5 minutes!)
You can also use HTTP to transfer stuff around - and Rick has written a good article about that as well available from his site
