HI Daniel,

Maybe you like to try using DIME or WS-Attachments to transmit the
data. The Web Services Enhancements (WSE) for .NET supports these
specifications.
Please find below a link to the article that discusses this.

First of all, what do you mean by huge data? I use WebServices to transfer binary data of size of up to 300kb and it works perfectly ok. But is 300k huge for you?

The point is that what is important is the timeout of the WebService call (but you can configure it per ASP.Net application).

The other thing is that you will have to use some kind of encoding of the binary data to be represented as character data (Base64 encoding with HTTP/SOAP calls?) which is not very efficient but simple to use.

So, maybe a better solution would be a custom TCP socket server/client or using remoting?
