> A possible solution is using SSL to send documents via FTP.
Don't forget about good old email. You can exchange signed and
encrypted messages with manual email programs like Netscape and
Outlook-Express, or by software using the openssl package.
If you add signed receipts and are careful about the way messages are
sent, you end up following the EDIINT specification.
This is more secure than SSL-FTP/HTTP, adding non-repudiation
instead of just authenticating logins. Data can be stored securely, not
just transmitted securely.
There isn't a big difference transmitting EDIINT MIME wrapped data via
SMTP or HTTP, but there is a big difference between these and
transmitting base data by S-FTP and HTTPS.
