And this is good for me, all I need to know is how to eliminate the DATABASE BACKLINK and the READ ONLY status of the copied tables, and I'll be done.

I don't know if that van be done, but then the problem i still there. The long field names are stored in the database and not in the table itself.
What you can do is export to another file type, or create a xml string.
You can also copy the database with the files. If you for example have four tables that has to be transported, you can place them in a seperate database.
A third thing you could do, is creating an extra table. In that table you can make a list of the short field names, and the long field names.
You then can probably create a temporary dbc at the server site. Add the free table that is exported to that database, and then use the extra table to change the field names back to the long names. Now you can simply append from that table.
