Hello, if you want to avoid pushes (i.e. do not run a server for a protocol) then you typically in the position to communicate with a larger hub/gorilla. In that case you might not be able to chose a communication protocol. So the first question should be who do you want to talk to.
One of the two sides neat to bite in the sour apple and provide a server port. (Besides some products allow polling based on AS2 as well). Generally I think sftp and AS2 are both possible protocols and it depends on your specific needs. Like if you need file based encryption and signatures (in forwarding scenarios) or if you want to allow low-entry communication with partners who do not have B2B Servers. The first is a case for AS2 (or ftp+pgp) and the second one more a case for sftp - where you run the server. Ben: > I have been trying to find a good business reason why AS2 is better than S/FTP.
