I'm researching what's needed for EDI as far as protocols and server/application setup. This is transportation industry and I'm interested in X12 format for transactions like 204, 210, 214.
Specific question is: Do BOTH trading partners have to run servers? With AS3 it seems like SFTP server and it seems like one partner can run it and another partner can push/pull.
What about AS2? Can it have server only on one side? Or both partners should be able to push?

Yes, for AS2 both sides run HTTP server. Here is good explanation on how this works:

I also was able to develop our own AS2 server and sender based on IIS WCF stack + EldoS EDIBlackBox
