(client pushes the file), and insert the contents of the XML file into a database table. Can I achieve this by writing a Web service? Do I send the XML file using SOAP? Can a Web service be written in VB6 or ASP (not .Net)? Where can I find a "Hello World" example on the Net?

HTTP POST XML-RPC (http://www.xmlrpc.org)
