My app will upload a file to our web site or service. App is in Delphi W32, web end is in ASP.NET. Requirements: Secure, resumable upload, client initiated. Medium sized data files, ~ 1 MB. WebDAV has been suggested, but that seems like a good solution to a different problem. This will be under SSL, so I assume the secure aspect is handled. Suggestions? -- Thanks, Brad.

And SSL can be applied to FTP connections (if the server supports it).

It's like HR with resumes. They don't know what any of the words mean. They just look for keywords. So we may be able to get away with using FTP so long as that term never appeared in any documentation and it didn't use the default FTP port. My concern would still be that they would ask us what we were using to do the uploads. We would need to refer to Secure FTP by some code name. Is FTP resumable? -- Thanks, Brad.

Quote: FTP has a reputation for being insecure The original specs for FTP did not include any security beyond a simple username/password. There are several standards and drafts available nowadays that add SSL and other encryption options to FTP. Quote: Is FTP resumable? Yes.
