SyncBack does support CLI, but I have never used it from inside VFP. I placed their help file onto my ftp Server's anonymous directoy if you would like to read through it. The Server is located at gilhale.dnsalias.com, log on anonymously in non-passive mode. Thhe directory is located at: ProFox\SyncBack_CLI If you use a browser you can fit the ftp Server at ftp://gilhale.dnsalias.com (be certain the browser is ftp enabled, and passive mode is off). Ciao!
