File upload - Web Service vs FTP ?
Hi,
I am stuck between 2 methods and not sure which one to go for,
I have a small agent running on a machine that must send 5 small files upto my server. I can either use my web service to upload each file going thru port 80 or i can use an ftp component to upload the files.
My question is this,
is there a prefered method? or best practices?
if i ue the frp component then will access to the outside world ne harder than just going over port 80 with the wb service?
thanks
