>This may sound lame, but I am a good foxpro programmer with very bad knowledge of the WEB. What would be the best way to do this?

I'll go out on a limb here since I was just reading up on this.

VFP7 has XML and SOAP support, and you can pass data around the web pretty "easily" with VFP6 using XML. This is the current soup du jour.
You use HTTP to send XML strings which can define data or data objects.

I would suggest going to Rick Strahls web site and read up on this technology to see if it will work for you. www.west-wind.com

You will also find a class there that does FTP from within VFP code. For a quick solution, if the data is of a reasonable size, you could simply download data do your work and upload. This is extremely limited since you will have multiuser problems, database container support is out the window, etc etc.

Like I say nearly every day, "It all depends on what they are willing to pay for... <g>"
