Rookie Questions - Emailing and FTPing with VFP

I have VFP 7.0 SP1

How can I email and ftp programmatically with VFP?

That is, I want to create some prgrams that email or ftp whenever the
program calls for it. Is this possible?

How are other people doing it if VFP does not give these capabilities?

BTW when I say "email or ftp", I actually have two separate needs for
communication.

1. I need to automatically email messages based on some triggers in
my data.

2. Separate from the email, I have VFP creating some web pages, and I
would like these to be automatically FTPed or transfered to my web
site.

On the last point of FTPing, I do know how to automatically FTP using
scripts in WS-FTP. I was just wondering if there is a feature
internal to VFP for doing this.

Thanks.
Best regards,

Al
