FoxPro TCP/IP server 3

[foxnet]

I am trying to find a way to have FoxPro (currently version 5) connect to a Unix system to transfer data through TCP/IP. The FoxPro end will serve as the server and the Unix side will serve as the client. I was looking at the InternetOpen and InternetConnect commands, but I cannot see a command to read or write to a TCP/IP port. Any help with be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at MSComm activex. Or use a third party product like this one

You may be able to adapt the server portion of the "Winsock Chat / Communication Utility" on my web site.
Follow the link by my signature and scroll down until you find it.

Another option would be to let IIS serve as the ftp host, and use a VFP app to periodically check for the existence of a file which has been transferred from the Unix box to the PC.
