How is the bulk file transmitted to the Department of Revenue?
After the file is set up, you will have two different options on how to transmit the withholding file to the Department of Revenue. You can use Dynamic Web Import (DWI) using the Microsoft browser to upload a file while remaining on the eFile & Pay application site. From the Bulk Withholding Processing Menu, you choose Send File Now. The other option is to use Batch Loader. Batch Loader is totally independent of the Internet application. It runs strictly on your Desktop PC and sends the file through the Internet. With Batch Loader you configure your filing frequency types using eFile & Pay. From the Bulk Withholding Processing Menu, you choose Save Configuration for Batch Send. When the bulk filer submits a data file through DWI or the Batch Loader tool, the transfer of data is across 128 bit SSL. The results are sent back through the same SSL. The state is retrieving files from the Web server running FSecure secure FTP. The encryption level is AES-128 bit. There are no VPN connections
