What method(s) for connection and data transfer are in use in Germany and Australia?Proably HTTP over SSL, this is easy to do in Python
In British Columbia (Canada) it appears there are at least two methods. One data clearinghouse requires SSL VPN connections to their repository (?) which the customer queries (details yet to come).
The other data clearinghouse provides a mailbox system in which discrete files are picked up via sftp using a Windows (only, Visual Basic) client
^^^^ SFTP is part of SSH. This sounds quite strange,
provided by the clearinghouse. They advise me they would be willing to have a clinic's (non-Windows) server connect but that they would require the clinic server to run an sftp daemon so that the clearinghouse would push (?) the files onto the clinic server.
Even stranger. I'm not sure this really is the SFTP I'm thinking of. We need heaps more information to comment.
