[BBLISA] RE: SFTP server

[Marc Chiarini (Tufts)]

Adam,

It is a fairly straightforward process to setup an SFTP server (via an 
SSH daemon) and to do regular data exchange across that channel once the 
details are worked out.  A few questions:  on what platforms will the 
server (presumably at your employer's site) and the client (at the 
partner site) be running?  Will you be able to work with anyone inside 
the partner company?  The reason I ask is that it will be necessary to 
know what kinds of host and network security they have running.  Will 
your companies be looking to transfer data automatically via scripts, or 
manually?  What kind of host/network security does your own environment 
have?  Testing your own server with someone other than the partner is 
all well and good and will probably give you insight into what your best 
configuration will be, but in the final analysis, they will need to give 
you some information about their setup.  You can send me more details 
privately if you wish.

Regards,
Marc
