Re: file transfer over outbound port 80?

Sure, there are several means.

At first you could use a DMS like Domino or sort of to build up
directories capable of fulltext search.
Another solution might be a website secured by login.

usually ssh at default port is available through firewalls.

Here's our issue:

We often have engineers on site at customer locations
where we need to drop off or pick up files from a
public file server. Currently we are using ftp for
this purpose however ftp outbound is being blocked by
more and more of our customers and only port 80 is
open.

My question is really what is the best way to work
around this problem? Is there a web-based application
out there that only does this simple job over port 80?
I have never seen this addressed here but I know we're
not the first ones to run into this issue.


Thanks all for any help.
