. . . as opposed to a browser session.

 

I would envision the following:

 

1.     a table like "my_files.dbf" exists on the site

 

2.     a program like "my_procedures" (.prg or .fxp or .exe) exists on the site directory.

 

3.     a file like "batch.txt" is uploaded to the site using FTP

 

4.     a command like:       

 

               my_procedures.exe batch.txt

 

        would cause "my_procedures" to append the data in "batch.txt" to

        "my_files.dbf"

 

Right now in order to accomplish this, I have to first copy the file from the site to a local directory, append the new data and then copy it back or use the FTP "append" command which lacks the sophistication of a FoxPro function.

 

Thanks,
