Hi Ed
This link has a free class you can use for FTP.
http://www.west-wind.com/wwIpstuff.aspIt is very good and is the most common one in use for VFP.
If you examine the help file with it, then all your questions should be answered.
Make sure you have cleared up any Firewall issues with your system admin before you write too much code.
Have fun
Mark
>I was asked by my boss to see if I can write a VFP app that'll send and/or receive files to and from our IBM mainframe (MVS). The systems programmers were able to send a file from the mainframe via FTP to a directory on a NT 4.0 workstation running under Novell 5.0. FTP server is installed on the mainframe.

>* Is is possible, with the help of VFP 5.0, to send and/or receive files via FTP? (I'm just about certain that it is).
>
>* If so, what do I need (software/hardware) on the workstation side?

>* What VFP or FTP commands should I or can I use?
