FTP Transport for Secure Peer-to-Peer Business Data Interchange over the Internet
RFC 4823, “FTP Transport for Secure Peer-to-Peer Business Data Interchange over the Internet”, is an Informational document published in April 2007 by T. Harding, R. Scott. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This Applicability Statement (AS) describes how to exchange structured business data securely using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for XML, Binary, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI - ANSI X12 or UN/EDIFACT), or other data used for business-to-business data interchange for which MIME packaging can be accomplished using standard MIME content types. Authentication and data confidentiality are obtained by using Cryptographic Message Syntax (S/MIME) security body parts. Authenticated acknowledgements employ multipart/signed replies to the original message. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
