John- Pushing from the desktop can be done with and XMLHTTP POST to a remote web site; the remote site could be ASP/ASP.NET pages or something similar that can consume the incoming stream and work with it. We are partial to a thin ASP layer that calls back to a VFP COM+ component on the web server, which in turn processes the posted information and sends a response (often, "OK").
Make sense? I've got plenty of code examples.

I was thinking I'd have to develop a desktop client that allows the users to grab their data, convert to vfp, then to xml and send. On the other hand, I've been looking at creating a web page that let's them browse to the data, then upload via xml. Long term, I think the desktop app is going to be the way to go, or maybe even a system service.

We didn't want to go through setting up ftp folders for each agency, etc. As an alternative solution, I was thinking of using xmlhttp to send the files to our server from each agency. Have any of you gone this route?
