I am currently working on a APP TO UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD FILE TO and FROM treminal server and local. Can someone Please pointy me into the right direction.

Well, I'm not really sure what you mean, but if you are looking to get a file from a TS server down to a client, you are going to need a mapped drive 'in session'.

To do this your client session must first have that enabled before you make a connection, and then you can shell out to run something like this:

NET USE X: \\TSCLIENT\SHAREPATH

That would probably get it moving.

Hi waylene12,
this could be done with a small Powershell script and without the use of 'NET USE...'.
Powershell offers Set-Location, Get-ChildItem, Copy-Item and Remove-Item to handle local and remote directories.

    Set-Location \\servername\sharename
    Get-ChildItem \\servername\sharename
    Copy-Item \\servername1\sharename1\filename.ext \\servername2\sharename2
    Remove-Item \\servername\sharename\foldername\filename.ext

ADDED:
To give you an idea, about how to generate a powershell script with VFP have a look at this link where Calvin Hsia explains how it is done dynamically:
