This is a great article, Jon; I have to stop and think about these things all the time. How do you feel about the fact that in certain cases, when enough people use a word incorrectly for a long enough period of time, the incorrect usage becomes accepted as correct? I know diehards rail against this.
The transport channel is the bottom-most channel of the WCF stack. The protocols that are typically used in this channel are HTTP, TCP, MSMQ, and named pipes, but WCF allows application developers to use other transports as well, such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
It is the standard data transmission protocol for use with the SSH2 protocol. WISE-FTP implements a reliable and user-friendly version of the client side of this protocol. The SFTP protocol's main purpose is to transfer data, but it is also used to obtain general access to the FTP server's file system.The SFTP protocol runs on a secure channel-no clear text passwords or file data are transferred.o access this FTP server, users need access to the Internet (via a modem, ISDN, DSL or a local network) and an FTP client program (such as WISE-FTP). Users are advised to use the SFTP protocol to ensure that the file transmission will be secure.
