Secure/Encrypted File Transfer

Hi all,

I have a requirement in VB to send files from various machines to a central storage server.  One problem is that I have the need to ensure the data transmitted can't be read during it's travels, e.g. needs to be secure/encrypted as the information is personal details of people.

I'm open to any/all suggestions for ways of sending files secure between computers (essentially over a WAN), although I do request that people don't suggest the use of commercial controls/components or other third party controls etc.

Many Thanks

Matt

Hello.

If you really want good security of your data, you could use PGP encryption.
See this link http://www.mccune.cc/PGP.htm, there are some COM interfaces to PGP, and it's freeware.

Julian.
P.S.
