Re: How do I send EDI file securely over Internet via FTP or HTTP S?

Of course, that is why it's called "Store-&-Forward" mechanism.
But it does not guarantee "How soon it will get there!"

Maybe we need new email service that guarantee the delivery
within a given time, e.g., Fedex or UPS style guarantee delivery. :-)

So the business folks can make new marketing slogan, "We
guarantee to deliver your email within 30 days!" :-)
