Hi,
I've got a bit of a puzzle. My company would like to be able to ftp
stuff to and from the mainframe from other organizations (banks etc.)
They want to do this over the net, the information is rather sensitive
so it must be secure.
Here's the ideas I've had so far:
A) Place a "Store and Forward" FTP server in our DMZ (Don't allow
direct connections to the Mainframe). Implement PGP so that files are
PGP-Encrypted before it's ftp'd.
B) Use some type of LAN-to-LAN tunneling hardware. Place a box at our
end... and boxes at the Bank etc. to create a secure tunnel in which
files could be transfered. (I'd still use a Store and Forward tunnel)
I personally like A but if it's silly... or there's a third please let
me know. The data and authentication need to be protected.
Thanks
D Clyde
