I am new to WSE. We are porting our VB6 app to VB.Net/Framework 1.1
environment. The app that I am currently working on needs to communicate via
HTTP to IIS to send and receive binary files such as photos, diagrams,etc to
a webserver. The prev release of this app used FTP. Is WSE20/DIME a better
solution? Or are there any other mechanism that can be used instead?

I think that WSE is a beter solution becuase you can also send data
related to the attached documents in the same call. I have always used
WSE for this task, but I heard some people converting a binary file to
base64, sending that up, and converting the base64 back into a binary
file. Not sure what performance issues there may be though.
