Copy data to another server via XML?

Hello...
I have to transfer/copy data from our SQL 2005 server to another server that
is NOT part of our domain. I was figuing to use XML to do this...but we hav
e
some image data types in some of our tables and I cannot figure out how to
include that data in the XML.
Does anyone know of a way to do this..or an article explaining it?
thanks for any help
- willHello dw,
If you are using SQL Server 2005, take a look at Integration Services.
Thanks!

not include a need for image/binary data...so I am now thinking of using the
HTTP Endpoints stuff...not really sure as I don't know too much about it
yet. But it looks promising.

For the record, XML itself is designed for text information, so it
cannot hold binary (image) data direct: it has to be encoded into
text characters first or referenced externally (like HTML).
But as Kent has pointed out, suppliers provide built-in ways to do
this for you.
