Are we talking about a VFP application here or a browser?

With a VFP application you have lots of options. If you have a Web application you can post the file to the application using the Internet Transfer Control or wwIPStuff, which is very easy to do. If you don't then you can use the Windows Posting Acceptor to post the file up to the server using the same VFP client tools.

FTP works OK too, and that may be easier since you need no Web anything only an FTP site. It depends on whether the server needs to do something with the data once it arrives - if you do a Web backend app will be the way to go.
