Sorry, for the confusion, I had wrote up on my blog what speed send
does ( and provided link to blog ).. ;)
But yes, basically it's very intelligent file diffing used by
pcanywhere to synchronize files.
I've read up on rsync quite a lot thanks to your suggestions, and it
sounds perfect, EXCEPT, I was hoping to have it integrate directly
into Fox via a .dll or active x.
Would there be an easy easy way to get the current windows build of
cygwin to work with fox? Seems like it would require a lot of
installing on the client machine, ie, cygwin, etc..
If I was really smart and had lots of time, I would go through the
rsync code and write it to work in pure windows as a dll myself.. but
the rsync algo makes my head spin a bit..
I'm sure given enough time, I surely could do it, but I don't have
that kind of free time.. ;)
I had several implantation ideas in mind, but the main one was to
backup my client's dbf files remotely to my machines here. It sounds
like I could probably install rsync and all related software on each
machine to make it work, so if nothing else comes of it, I'll probably do that.

You'll have to tell us what Speed Send does.
If it transfers files quickly by only sending diffs, you might look
into something like the UNIX commandline tool rsync. You could use
CygWin to install most UNIX tools on a Windows box, or a small subset
of them.
