Re: VFP Internet Syncing and Sockets and Client Server General "how to"

Okay - I've got all the basics down - I'm just trying to figure out the
easiest way to do a "file transfer" with sockets. Anyone?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello - I have a VFP network application and here's the general idea of
what I want to do:

I want each user to be able to copy the application to their laptop
computer and then work "off the network" with no internet access at all
and then "SYNC" the changes via the internet. My thought for an algorithm
is as follows:

1. Laptop sends/uploads changed files to the network via the internet.
2. Network syncs changed files from the laptop to it's main DBF files.
3. Laptop receives/downloads all changes from the network back to the
laptop.

I'm thinking sockets is the best way to do this but all ideas are
welcomed. I'm just not sure if there is a proper protocol for setting up a
"client server" app and I have already written some basic stuff using VFP
with an ActiveX socket so that the VFP app on the laptop can sign on with
a password to a VFP app I worte on main network.

Is there a general instruction/write up on how applications like pc
Anywhere work using a status and data socket? I can have as many sockets
open as I need but I'm thinking most client server apps of this nature
would probably require at least a status and data socket I'm just not
exactly sure of the methods to make it all work.

Thanks,
