PHP webservices

Hi,   I have a specific requirement on PHP web services.   1. I have a vb client application on windows. 2. I have the php web service hosted on Apache web server on FEDORA (LINUX OS)   Now how do I interact from vb client (through vb programming) with the web service? Can I enable SOAP library in vb and NUSOAP on the server side and interact between the two.   The web service will typically have functions like transferring files from windows to Linux, creating directories etc.I do not want to use ftp as it is a clear text protocol.   What is the best way to interact between vb and php web service on Linux.   Please let me know at the earliest. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.     Thanks Sowmya   The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/
