Re: FTP and XML



All of that is certainly possible, although one does not necessarily equate
XML with FTP. <s>

XML is nothing but text. It's specifically formatted text (much like HTML)
and generally travels over http rather than FTP, but it's just text.

If you're going to use FTP, most people would use server-side security to
restrict client access to only that client's folder, so that only that
client's data is available to them. Once that is set up, the client can
certainly leave behind an acknowledgement.

Hello,

I have not learned XML yet, so my question to you, is the process
below possible and can it be easily implemented?
a.. Client logs on to FTP server using encrypted password, which is
not available to the client.
b.. Each client has 10 digit account code which is used to identify
which transactions belong to him.
c.. The client downloads transactions belonging to him, then
deletes those transactions from the server.
d.. Once successfully completed, client sends up acknowledgment of
receipt.
Thanks for the responses and recommendations.
