>Is it only one way for transferring datas from clients to server - use parameters in the Web Service class? Can we transfer many records from customer's computer to server in one time? Or that is another technology, like FTP or ADO RDS? I cannot see examples for this operation (using Web Services).

Using XML you can package many things into a single document. That's probably the best choice that I'd use. Or if you're dealing with file/binary content, zip it all up then send the binary file as Web Service parameter.

If this is an internal app I probably wouldn't use a Web Service either but just a plain Web backend (Web COnnection, ASP, FoxISAPI etc.). More control that way.

>>>I have another hudge problem - how to write (transfer) datas on the server's disk (typical situation - client have to write something into remote database)? I use function with parameters on server side and parameters are my datas. After receiving this parameters I use standart SQL command INSERT. But the problem is - I cannot transfer russian language - it changes strange - THREE russian letters became the same ONE english letter.

>>XML Encoding is a very difficult subject to grasp (at least it's been for me) and there's a very detailed KB article in the MSDN knowledge base on it (It was a MSDN article actually). Search for that and that might help you figure out what you need to do exactly.
