Hi
We are discussing different approaches of moving files from our ftp-site to different system file shares within the organization. BizTalk was mentioned as one option (put one copy in an archive and one on the share). Is BizTalk really the way to go here or should we look at other alternatives?
Thanks

I think this depends on what size of files you are talking about. There are some important considerations when implementing a BizTalk FTP architecture. The following article mentions these: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561801.aspx. The main suggestion is to implement multiple handlers under a single host rather than simultaneously running hosts so that there is no overlap in the files processed through BizTalk.
I think this is a fine approach for small files. You should also look at the distributed file system technology: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/storage/dfs/default.mspx. You may need to implement some custom logic to pull the files from FTP but this would be a simpler file management solution.
Thanks,
