Hi Tony:
Thanks for your suggestion. You are right in that now it is fairly easy to transfer files via HTTP/HTTPS! DO yoou happen to know if the HTTP transfers are 8-bit byte paked or 7-bit byte packed?
Kind regards
Fred

     You'd have to be more descriptive what you want to support
     with FTP since there are many ways to configure
     authentication, different modes and clients. In general
     though, I don't configure FTP... given a choice (which
     isn't always the case) I configure HTTP/HTTPS transfers
     instead so I don't have to think twice whether the client
     is configured appropriately.
     
     And, since I've been an IIS specialist since 'way back in
     SBS4.5 and IIS3 days, I feel very comfortable dealing with
     Internet protocols, whereas I get the feeling that most
     Windows Admins are still experiencing problems
     transitioning from LAN technologies to Internet
     technologies.
