Re: VFP 9: Help with sending/receiving XML via FTP



Thomas,

It seems web service would be overkill for what I'm attempting to do.

Each user on the system would have their own unique FTP login and directory.
The VFP application connects to the FTP server and directory for the user.
Once connected, XML files are exchanged.

One potential problem would be a user logging onto the server with FTP
client. Once connected with his login and password, he could navigate other
user directories and might even cause some damage.

The information is not so sensitive that data encryption would be necessary.

Based on the security built the VFP application and how it connects to the
FTP server and the risks of someone connecting with FTP client, would you
still recommend email?

Thanks,
John
