Hi Ricardo,

In Visual FoxPro use either Winsock ActiveX or Winsock API. There are several code samples on my web site exploring the latter.

Take a look at the list of FoxPro examples at the bottom of this web page

With Winsock API you can:
- send emails to SMTP servers
- receive emails from POP3 servers
- exchange data with FTP servers
- retrieve web pages (HTTP protocol)
- access news servers (NNTP protocol)
- exchange data between two computers on a network
- obtain network parameters for local computer as host name, domain name and DNS server
