What do you mean by Web folder? Is this a directory somewhere available on a web server?

If yes ... then you need to program HTTP post operations with files ... or to use FTP protocol ... which is, I think, the preferable solution.

The FTP solution will require to have an FTP server somewhere that would allow some people to log in.

A domain such as www.mydomain.com points to a specific directory of the web server. For example, any access to www.mydomain.com is redirected to D:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\MYDOMAIN\WWW\HTDOCS of the web server. What you need is to get access to this specific directory.

With FTP, you can create accounts that will have access to specific parts of the server such as D:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\MYDOMAIN and all sub-directories.

To program FTP access, you can use the Win32 API with functions such as InternetOpen(), InternetConnect(), FtpSetCurrentDirectory(), FtpPutFile(), FtpGetFile(). You can also use FOCUS.FLL to do such things: there is a brand new series of FTP functions in the new version of it. It's available at http://www.fastwrite.com

Hope it helps.
