| Hi Asaf,

| Not sure what's the "files" you mentioned here.

| "but I prefer not to use files to transfer data."
|
| As for MTOM, it is just a binary data encoding pattern which can help
| effeciently compressed and embed binary data in XML webservice soap
| message. And it won't matter whether your data is comming from a file or
| just a binary data block. You can just define your webmethod's parameter
or
| return value as byte[] and configure your client/server WSE 3.0 enabled
| application to send or recieve data encoded through MTOM:
