Editing Electronic data interchange (section)

=== Internet ===
As more organizations connected to the Internet, eventually most or all EDI was pushed onto it.  Initially, this was through ad hoc conventions, such as unencrypted FTP of ASCII text files to a certain folder on a certain host, permitted only from certain IP addresses. However, the [[IETF]] has published several informational documents (the "Applicability Statements"; see below under '''Protocols''') describing ways to use standard internet protocols for EDI.

As of 2002, [[Walmart]] has pushed [[AS2]] for EDI.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.opentext.com/as2-and-internet-edi-nine-years-later/|title=AS2 and Internet EDI – Nine Years Later - OpenText Blogs|date=9 September 2011|access-date=4 September 2017|archive-date=4 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904112020/https://blogs.opentext.com/as2-and-internet-edi-nine-years-later/|url-status=live}}</ref> Because of its significant presence in the global supply chain, AS2 has become a commonly adopted approach for EDI.
