        Hi,

        I’ve been evaluating the FTPS adapter from both http://www.nsoftware.com/products/biztalk/ and http://www.eldos.com/bizcrypto/.  Both support FTPS but not FTP over HTTPS.

        The integration I am working on requires FTP over HTTPS.  I’ve been playing around with the Chilkat software at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/ftp-2-dotnet.asp.  This appears to allow use the ftps class but behind the scenes maps to FTP over HTTPS.

        Before I start writing a custom BizTalk adapter for FTP over HTTPS with chilkat, is there anything out of the box available?  Can this be done with the standard HTTP BizTalk adapter?

        Thanks

        Richard

          Hi Richard,

          There seems to be a few “secure” FTP protocols out there.  If by FTP over HTTPS you mean SFTP (aka FTP/SSH), then you may want to look at http://www.codeplex.com/SftpAdapter.  I’ve used it successfully as an SFTP client to pull files into BizTalk.  Worked right out of the box.

              SFTP is different.

              SFTP uses SSH for security.  FTPS and HTTPS uses SSL.  I think I’m I’m going to use the chilkat DLLs to develop my own adapter unless there is something else out there.

              Do you mean FTP over HTTP-over-SSL or you mean FTP over SSL/TLS? FTP clients don’t work over HTTP, but it’s possible to request an FTP resource from HTTP proxy. Also it’s possible (but non-trivial) to tunnel FTP over HTTPS proxy (this is sometimes called HTTP CONNECT proxy). If you need the latter, I believe, EldoS adapters do this (if not, it’s easy to modify them as the backend library supports HTTP CONNECT proxies).
