Encryption and FileUpload control

[jpandviv]

I want to be able to upload data files and have our clients retrieve
these files over an encrypted connection (SSL) and wanted to see if it
was possible to use the FileUpload control to do the uploading.
Basically, we have access to an HTTPS:// site which will create the
encrypted connection, but will this translate to uploading a file
using this encrypted connection with this control? I don't want to
use traditional FTP because it's sent in clear text so I need an
alternative I can create.

Thanks,

James

Another possibility that might fit: there are several third-party ZIP
controls.

ZIP the files (encrypted) and you can use any protocol, including FTP, to
send/retrieve them. More quickly too.
