iis ftp:
FTP requests to my FTP server. When accessing the router's internet address from the net, I'm prompted for my passward to access the FTP site. It's my understanding that this infomation is not secured. How do I go about securing it? I don't want to use a VPN. I'd like to to use my 2003 Active
I think it depends what kind of VPN solution you deploying, there should be
some that able to work with Windows user db. Anyway is to via IPSec, anyway all these are network related and not at IIS ftp level, refer the bottom section of this kb.

Thanks Bernard.
I guess I have the FTP site configured correctly, but I now need to dive into network security. I thought setting up a secure FTP site would be

Microsoft's FTP doesn't do secure FTP at this time.
I have been researching this because I'm building an add-on to IISLogs to be
able to move log files via a secure FTP connection. Some of the products I tried and worth while evaluating are listed below. http://ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp-server/index.asp http://www.CuteFTP.com http://www.gene6.com/ Steve Schofield steve@deviq.com [quoted text, click to view] "John Thomas" <Almanaticus@netscape.net> wrote in message news:C13Ge.5456$0C.5393@newsread3.news.pas.earthlink.net... > > "Jeff Cochran" <jeff.nospam@zina.com> wrote in message > news:42eab6a5.396878375@msnews.microsoft.com... >> On Tue, 26 Jul 2005 15:06:02 -0700, "chawk" >> <chawk@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > >> You get a choice of VPN or third party FTP server. > > Any suggestions on the server software? >
Yes, that's the alternative some users are using. As webdav is an http
extension protocol that you can put SSL with it. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.microsoft.com/iis/ http://www.iiswebcastseries.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "chawk" <chawk@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B527EB18-9F76-40BE-A37E-28FA84526083@microsoft.com... > Would I get the secure internet connection if I setup a website and used > webdav to access my files rather than using an FTP site?

I use WFTPD Pro for this: http://www.wftpd.com/ It's by no means the only one out there, but when we were mandated to provide secure FTP for some transfers we looked at FTP Serv-U and WSFTP Server, and WFTPD Pro won out. I think most have trial versions you can test. I liked Ipswitch's WSFTP Server, but it was $500 or so for our needs. I got burned with FTP Serv-U when I bought a "lifetime" license with free upgrades, they went to a tiered licensing and our cost would have risen dramatically. WFTPD Pro fit within the budget and worked perfectly.
Hi Jeff,
Great link thanks for passing it along. Any other products you know of?
