> yup :) moreless something I want to be able to give users to backup files onto my system but I want to be able to have a client and a server app, so i can see who is connected and who is uploading. I could use other apps but I want to be able to tweak it as I need to.

You can use Active VFP as your Web Application server to handle request from Users. You can do a file transfer directly over HTTP. You can do that by converting the file into an XML encoded base 64 and you can decode it when in the server, using the function STRCONV() parameter 13 or 14 for encoding / decoding of the file. Not only you can transfer file you can log it to a VFP table if you want to, and other stuffs.

Hope this helps, let me know if not. :)

Kind regards,
