I have done a very similar thing. I have the service read the xml file into a string and then the client writes the string to a file in the desired location. I haven't had any problems with this method thus far.

The first thing that came to my head, is sending the xml files as strings, but I would like to know which is the best way to send xml files via soap, and, in case that sending them as strings is ok, if there is any kind of limitations. Thanks very much, Tizo
