Re: transfer data (securely) between clients via RPC,SSL,...?

SSH is relatively widely accepted, but requires opening
a firewall port. You can roll your own code using SSL,
but you have to choose a port number. Since you are
worried about hassle-free deployment in presense of
firewalls, you will probably want to consider using the
HTTPS port 443.

Hello,
Our security software should transfer data between clients in an
office LAN.

Which protocol/service should I use to tranfer data by my
program between clients?

The admin doesn't need to change firewall or any other settings, if
possible.

Which protocol/service prefered by admins?
- RPC (but W32 Blaster Worm uses vulnerability in RPC)
- Named Pipe (but not available if file and printer sharing is
disabled)
- TCP/IP (but in general admin have to open ports firewall manually)
- SNMP
- SSL
- SSH

Any help is highly apperciated.

Mario
