       I’d like to use BizTalk to copy a file from a Windows file server and place the copy on an FTP server.  I do not want to change the structure of the file in any way – only transfer it.

      I’ve been reading a lot about the “Mass Copy” functoid and “anyAttribute”, but I can’t figure out how to set-up receive and send schemas that essentially treat the file as a BLOB.

      Ideas?

      BizTalk can do that.  Don’t worry about mass copy functoids or any attributes because you don’t need a map or a schema.  You don’t even need to crack open Visual Studio.  Just open the BizTalk administration console and create a new receive port and receive location.  For the receive location, select the file adapter and configure the path to the file server.  For the receive pipeline select passthrough.  Now, create a new send port.  Select FTP for the send adapter and configure it to point at your FTP server.  Again, use a passthrough send pipeline.  To direct files from the receive port to the send port you need to add a filter to your send port:  BTS.ReceivePortName = <name of your receive port>.
