Hello, We are planning to use Transactional Replication feature with setup of remote Pull Subscription. Currently we have Secure FTP server configured and up and running (Port 22). Question is - Is it possible to use Secure FTP with Replication to re-initialize Replication Snapshot for Remote pull Subscription? I know that FTP is supported to deliver Replication Snapshot files to Remote Subscriber, but it is unclear to me if Secure FTP can be used instead. Please let me know if it is possible or not. (I am aware of alternative initialization option with DB backup, unfortunately it cannot be used for re-initialization of the Subscriber). If Yes - maybe you can point me to related documentation link with more details. Thank you, Leo
