Some options:

1. VPN
2. FTP over SSL
3. HTTPS (webdav)
4. Sneakernet

You may want to check out http://www.indyproject.org/KB/ for a free
implementation of SSL and a lot of other Internet protocols that can be used
from .Net.

Don't forget SecureCoPy, or SCP. Grab pscp.exe from here:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html

and write a batch file around it. Drop your files onto the batch file,
enter your password, watch the files transmit securely. of course you
need an SSH server on the host you're copying to, but I think I can help
you there as well:

Hello, I sure could use someone's help : ) I need to authenticate users and securely upload files from laptops on the internet ( not on the same domain as server ) to a server on my domain. But I don't want any interaction from the user...I don't want them to have to enter a username and password. So I believe part of the solution is to use certificates...Many-to-one...Right?

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question. If so please direct me to the correct one. I have some XML files that are populated in the field with no internet connection. I would then like to be able to securely upload them to a wide array of servers - rather seemlessly - and preferably in an encrypted state.
