Greetings Ionut -
does this help ??
http://www.gnsinfotech.com/Articles/a_simple_way_to_make_your_vfp_de.htm speaks of having a web server out there-
don't like the Wintel Combos ? try adodb for php on Apache -
I've used it for http post and get rather well with vfp 6 tables stored on linux samba shares .
Anyway - study the code examples there - you should get some ideas ..
You could also try some winsock stuff sending/receiving to some port - but you'd have to build a server component in vfp to serve up the data when a remote client puts in a request to 'get' or 'send', and I'm sure you'll want some kind of authentication and encryption as well.
