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?
