      I am a network admin working with BizTalk developers and clients, trying to hammer out a policy for secure file transfers.

      Of HTTPS, FTPS, SFTP(ala SSH) or PGP, which is the most standard method without using 3rd party plugins (or least difficult) or burdening the outside party? Also, I need to be able to upload/download files independent of BizTalk.

      current evaluation:
      FTPS = firewall problems with some clients
      SSH/SFTP = clients object to unwanted remote shell:
      PGP = Devs will not work with it.
      HTTPS = Not sure. (default support?)

      Thanks for your answer! HTTPS seems to be what everyone is suggesting. But is HTTPS available by default?

      • #14166

        If messages are not too large, HTTPS works very well, and it’s well usually supported by any HTTP client/server. The only downside is having to acquire and configure server certificates.

          Yes. On the client side, BizTalk has no problem connecting to HTTPS servers.

          On the server side, this is supported by IIS which is where the receive side HTTP adapter runs, so it’s no problem. Again, if you’re hosting the server side, then you’ll want to get a server side certificate for it.
