You can use API function WNetGetConnection to create a connection to a Novell server. As for the program, if you just want to physically transfer files, this should be done using C - I've found that FoxPro is horrendous at this. Actually, on Novell you could use NCOPY to copy directly between servers, copying normally will copy through the PC.

Let me know if you need more help on this.

>I am trying to develop a timer that will login into Novell server and retreive files onto my server. I am not sure how I would go about writing a code to logon to another server and then moving those files to my server? Also How can I run the timer constantly on server, so that it won't terminate when my machine is turned off? Any help would greatly be appreciated
