Yes, that's a good way of getting the data up to a web server on a
sporadic basis.
Example:
1. Get your data just right in your local database.
2. Back up the database to a (compressed) backup file.
3. FTP the file to your server.
4. Take web systems offline.
5. Rename existing web database.
6. Create new blank web database.
7. Restore into the new blank web database with the data from the backup
file.
8. Bring web systems back online.
9. Test.
10. If all is well, then delete the old renamed web database.
11. Bask in the joy of successfully migrating the data.
If you need better updating or performance, then you'd need to up your
game to some sort of replication process. This opens a whole can of
worms, but can be approached later down the line when finances dictate.

If I load mysql or maria on my box at home and do the insert there via vfp,
and then do a backup of the mysql database, upload it to my host via
filezilla and do a restore on my host, will that work?
thats what I've been thinking about doing.
Just haven't had time to focus on it with all the financial things going
wrong

Hmm. 550K records means 550K insert statements.
I'd probably recommend one of the upsizing tools for moving VFP data to
your MySQL database. It'll perform much better and get you to your data
quicker.
If you haven't installed MySQL already, give MariaDB a spin. It is a fork
of MySQL, by the original MySQL creator and team, and is more open-sourced
than, and supported by, the (now) Oracle owned MySQL. It should have
better performance as I believe that it takes better advantage of multi-cpu
computers. As of now, it is fully compatible with MySQL.

thanks, the files are typically about 550,000 records and about 90 MB
I've got one I put together sometime back, but yours might work a lot
better as it sounds like you're more familiar with it than I was.
