Send/Receive Xml file to a https server via http client

Hi,
I have to send an Xml file to a third party and get back an Xml file.I have written a .Net Webservice to send the xml file.The problem is the 3 rd party accepts only secure https(SSL) connections.So it is not accepting the xml file I am trying to send because Iam sending the file on http and port 80 which is not secure.
Now Can you tell me how to overcome this problem.
Thanks very much

Hi
the problem is with https.The 3rd party sever accepts only SSL connections.I am writing a webservice to send and receive xml from the 3 rd party server.We have an account with them.I am getting the error

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The function completed successfully, but must be called again to complete the context
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus()
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetRequestStream(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
at RegisterDomain.PartnerProtocol.RegisterDomain() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\registerdomain\registerdomain.asmx.cs:line 86
We have a SSL certificate on our server.I am trying to access it from my machine within the same network.
I am very new to this SSL .So it will be really gr8 if anyone can help me
Thanks

also be sure that the client certificate not installed only for the machine account. you have also to install it for the current user

Our web server has got the SSL certificate.Do i need to install the certificate on my system also.The webservice from which I am sending the Xml is on my machine.I have gone thru the links u have provided.They are helpful but i am not knowing whether i need to install the certificate on my system also.
Thanks
