Got a client need for me to FTP some data of theirs to a 3rd party vendor. Nothing fancy, just regular FTP (not SFTP, not FTP-S). Many moons ago I interacted with Robert Abrams VFP class (wow...I think that was VFP5 days?!?!?).
What do folks use nowadays for FTP from a VFP app?

Hi Mike
I used to use some code from SweetPotato. Not used it for a while but can send you a copy if it will help?

From VFP? I'm designing an automated solution that will fire every day.
Dropbox, or its superior (IMO) competitor, Box.com, work by monitoring a specified directory, and when something changes, uploading that to the "cloud". The client machine would then receive the update as soon as you add the file to the directory.
Yes, it's magic, but it works very well.

Excellent idea - I'd forgotten about Dropbox. I used to use it to transfer updated exes to a client. I'm about to modify another system to use it.

FWIW you could also do this by running the FileZilla client with command line switches.
If it has to be VFP and FTP you can automate it with a little cost using Chilkat https://www.example-code.com/foxpro/ftp_upload.asp

I have a full VFP FTP Client class (Passive and non Passive) I could post on the archives if anyone is interested.

Absolutely, Dave! It's always good to contribute to the VFP Downloads page! https://leafe.com/dls/vfp
I did a talk for Southwest Fox that uses the free FoxCurl lib. Lots of examples. Here's the whitepaper http://saltydogllc.com/wp-content/uploads/Selje_Extending-Web-Apps.pdf.

Not free, but pretty cheap - I use West Wind's WWIPStuff for both FTP and SFTP within VFP.
I've also used TaskManager to fire of WinScp (free) scripts. I haven't done it, but I have no doubt you could accomplish this with the VFP RUN command.
