fupload - A Visual FoxPro Script for Uploading Files

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

fupload is a script written in Visual FoxPro. I created fupload to make it easier to upload large numbers of PDF and ZIP files at work. It was built on the principle of “scratching your own itch.”

Since I wanted to learn how to use git and github, I decided to organize the code better and make it available as open source. This script was made for the Windows platform. Visual FoxPro must be installed on the machine. To complement the script, I use a .bat file to send the files to the server.
