Communication Protocol

FTP

File transfer protocol is a very common method of moving files between two Internet sites. FTP is a special way to log in to another Internet site for the purposes of retrieving and/or sending files. There are many Internet sites that have established publicly accessible repositories of material that can be obtained using FTP. Con-way uses PGP (pretty good privacy) software to enable secure transmission with both privacy and authentication. 

Once FTP communications are established, there are no costs incurred by you or Con-way.

AS2

Applicability statement 2 is the current specifications developed by EDI over the Internet (EDIINT) for transporting data between organizations.

Once AS2 communications are established, there are no costs incurred by you or Con-way.

SMTP

Simple mail transfer protocol is a TCP/IP protocol governing electronic mail transmission and reception.

VAN

Value-added network is a third-party network that transmits data between trading partners. There are costs associated with the use of a VAN. Con-way will be responsible for the charges of picking up or sending its data and the customer will be responsible for the charges of sending or picking up its data.

Our primary VAN is Descartes. 1-800-432-6428.

Other communications methods may be available.
