I sugest HTTPS, but it may be because I barely lnow ftps.

To send the data you just create a page, it is very easy with CGIDEV2,
but you can also do it using netData or PHP.

To receive the data you can use Scott's LIBHTTP.

You will need a certificate in the AS400 to send secure data

I know this has been discussed at length. I received a request this morning to send/receive data using either FTPS or HTTPS. This would be a daily process. I really don't want to have to do this manually. They also feel that this is something that can be done in two weeks. The meeting to discuss this is 90 minutes away. Gotta love how decisions get made.

I would prefer to use sFTP, as I am doing that now. But, that does not appear to be an option.

My employer passes thru a private network to a corporate office and from there to the outside world. They are very picky about ports and IP addresses, requiring advance clearance for any port or address.

Is there a redbook detailing how to set up FTPs properly? I have read references over the past few months about certificates, but have no experience with this.

With time being a factor, I am not sure Scott's FTPAPI would be an option. Would it, though?
