I have started to experiment with
Microsoft’s WebDAV, which allow file sharing through the browser and is
built into IIS 6.0. I am comfortable in doing that on a machine that is
not used as a web server. Users who want drive mapping can use
WebDrive in conjunction with Microsoft’s WebDAV.

solutions on windows IIS
Windows
folks:
We
used to run FTP for users to access their files in their home directories from
either out of the building using our RRAS vpn or on those older systems (NT-98)
that don’t directly access them through shares. However recently we
have disabled that because of the very unsecure nature of FTP. We would
like to provide SFTP functionality as people tend to not like that we took
regular FTP away.
I
found a free solution from freeftpd.com but I would like it to be integrated
with IIS but I just don’t know if that’s possible…whereas for
websites you can enable SSL, you can’t for FTP sites. I even just
installed IIS7 on the test box I have with WinServer2008 RC0 and it seems that
all web services have been updated in IIS7…however if you want to use FTP
services it dumps you back into its IIS6 console with all the same
options…so much for the hope they would have updated that…
Any
creative ideas/options anyone else has implemented?
