iis ftp: Hi,

Im looking for information on how to configure SSL on 2003 web edition for
ftp user login. Is this possible and where can i find information on
implementation (kb seems to be a bit sparse on info).

Thanks for any advice
Scott.

Microsoft FTP doesn't support SSL. If you need secure FTP you'll need
a third party FTP server. Which may not work correctly on Web
Edition. Of course, Alun will know... :)

Now, you know I can't answer that one in a lot of detail - not from this
account, anyway.

However, what I can do is to point to third party SSL FTP servers, clients
and wrappers (yes, that way you can keep IIS _and_ have SSL-enabled FTP) at
the FTPS web site, http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext.html -
you'll have to contact the third-party vendors themselves to see whether
it'll work on the Web Edition.

No, you're probably confusing them with SSH wrappers. The FTPS wrappers are
very specific to FTPS, and they essentially act as translating proxies. You
could even put them in a DMZ to get over issues with NAT and FTPS.

If you're connecting an FTPS client with an FTP server, you put the FTPS
proxy just upstream of the FTP server. If you're connecting an FTP client
with an FTPS server, you put the FTPS proxy close by the FTP client. If
you're connecting an FTP client with an FTP server, you give them both an
FTPS proxy.

Don't SSL wrappers have to be supported on the client side?

Hmm... This opens up some possibilities for some things I've
otherwise decided not to do. Thanks.
