I use FileZilla FTP server, allows you to create a free certificate for SFTP, works fantastically, had to fiddle with a few high-level ports on my firewall to let it in, but works fantastically. Let me know if you need a hand setting it up or getting it to work with a firewall. -- Troy Murray Informatics Specialist Michigan State University Biomedical Research & Informatics Center (BRIC) 100 Conrad Hall East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-432-4248 Fax: 517-353-9420 E-mail: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group on behalf of Ehren Benson Sent: Fri 10/12/2007 3:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Creative SFTP 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? Ehren J.
