I personally have deployed a substantial number of SFTP servers (and SSL-FTP), and have found that G6-FTPD works extremely well. It can integrate with RADIUS, AD, and database authentication. We are currently using it with our various phone and voicemail systems. While not free, it is very low-cost.

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?
