Original plan for today was Streamlined Sales Tax administration Acknowledgement Query. IRS SafeGuard issue with secure end-to-end transmission of FTI from Tumbleweed to the Data Warehouse interfered. Installed and configured trial WS_FTP server, WinPcap and WireShark. Tried to get WireShark to monitor localhost transmissions so I could verify that Filezilla was encrypting the transmission. Tried installing Microsoft Loopback Adapter. Succeeded in getting this PC to fail network drive connections. Misunderstood Server Team 4 - we use cygwin SSH for sftp transfers. Now downloading cygwin packages. When attempting to follow a poorly understood action plan, can spend lots of extra time backing-and-filling.
