Export / Import transaction file Hi all: I am working with a vendor in exporting a file to them on a daily basis from our web site, and then I need to receive a response file from them. I imagine that we'll dump the transaction file in a directory that they then access on their end. What is the best, most secure way to do this? Shall they pass a user/pass combination to a script, which then retrieves the transaction file from a secure location and "pushes" it back to them? And how should I accept the response from their end? Shall they pass their response via URL (e.g. pass user/pass and field=value&field=value)? What is the most secure way to accomplish this? --D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.
