Hello Everyone,
I am working on a app which is with in the firewall and we have a
requirement for some folks out side to access some of the information. Now
we cannot send the information via Email. So what other options we are left
with .. by which we can push this information to outside firewall folks(may
be read only).
Any ideas any leads will be helpful
Thanks,
RSB
RSB,
Well, if you are behind a firewall, and someone is trying to make a
request from you, you have no choice but to open up a port on the firewall
and expose an endpoint so that people can connect to you and get the
information they need.
If you are trying to push the information to other people, and you are
behind a firewall, it shouldn't be an issue, since you are making an
outgoing connection, and typically, firewalls block incoming connections.

RSB,
Lacking a definition for "some folks out side" leaves a number of
possibilities. Perhaps FTP is an option, or maybe they have a web service
setup to receive your information, or maybe even VPN connectivity to your
resources. A number of options are available to you other than SMTP depending
on your definition of those out side folks.
