>Yes, he is referring to a PCAnyWhere host site.

Hi Cecil. I've confronted this kind of situation a few months ago. What I did maybe it's no the best solution but it's working fine since then. A client of us wanted to transfer data from a VFP app to the same VFP app but running on a distant place, so the objective was to transfer the data from one place to another and once in the other place update the data with the data in the downloaded files. To accomplish this I did the following:

1.- Extract the data I wanted to transfer and save it in a given location. This was done from a VFP app using native SQL code.

2.- Once I have the data I want to transfer, I run Winzip with "Command Line Utility" so I compress all the data into a single file for easier transfer.

3.- The app starts PCAnywhere and make a remote connection with the host. You can configure PCA to send the file you just compressed automaticly upon connection.

The app I did is divided into two modules, host and client: The host waits for a PCA connection and once the connection is terminated it continues with the program execution (I did this using the Windows Scrip Host, so I can make my app to wait until the connection got terminated). The client collect the data, pack it and send it. All the calls to PCAnywhere were managed trough the Windows Scrip Host.

There's no much VFP code involved in this, the biggest part of the work was configure the host and remote PCanywhere connections and this is done easily too.

I you want further info or if you had found a different workaround on this just let me know.
