I know very little about ftp's, so please bear with me. Can vfp dbf's or reports be transferred through ftp or does it do better being formatted into excel

FTP is File Transfer Protocol and could be used to transfer any type of file.
DBFs are files so you could transfer them. Reports are files from one point of view (their definiton are in .frx files). However a report output can be a file or not (a postscript,ASCII,html etc).
Developers generally prefer to output to a PDF or HTM to send it over to an FTP or email client.
