We need to transfer our real-time freight data via an XML file to our carrier. In what way can I do this safely using Thinkwise?
Is an FTP link secure enough for this?

Our local servers here have an sftp instance. We use it to send information securely to the server and a file connector can pick it up from there and process the XML.

Hi, is the question still open or did you resolve the problem?

Hi,

I haven't worked with the FTP connector yet but I do think that is your best bet of getting an XML file safely and secure to your carrier.

Another way could be, if the carrier has an API of their own, to upload the file via Indicium to that API. That way you could do it with a POST request, submitting the file data to their API. 

Hopefully other Community members can share their experience with this topic :smile:
