In short the answer is no, no and thrice NO. The file being open means you will either get a sharing error or if it does manage the copy then you may well get file corruption and the integrity of the file/table will be in question.

Web server will act no different to a standard file server when it comes to file usage.

Why not at a small web app to export the data in xml or csv format. That way you can be sure that the data you transfer is correct?

Subject: Copy DBF that is open

I want to make sure I know the answer to this before proceeding. I have dbfs on a web server. There are users that have the table open shared.

I want to grab a copy of the dbf, cdx and fpt. Can I just do a Windows Explorer copy & paste without issue?

TIA
