automated updates from another server

I am working with a company that is getting addresses of our clients.
I need them sent to my server every night so it can update my database.
How does this normally get done?
Tx

XML-RPC might be the simplest way to go, since CodeIgniter supports it natively.

i have read the manual on the xml-rpc class.
What do I need to tell the person who i will be requesting the info from.
They have a cold fusion set up. Will that work?
Never done this before.

As far as I know, XML-RPC is just another protocol, just like HTTP, FTP, SSH and the likes and almost as well-known. I'm sure that implementations cover most programming languages.

I am also thinking of getting them to create an xml file like an rss feed and then parse that once a day.
