I've been asked to create an FTP secure site (i guess and ftps://
connection). How can i do this in Windows 2000?

thanks in advance

A number of FTP Server packages support SSL (e.g. CuteFTP). Alternatively
you can do secure FTP through SSL using Secure Shell (SSH). There are a
number of commercial packages that do this... but there's also Win32 ports
of OpenSSH that support SSH version 2, together with OpenSSH clients such as
Putty.. do a search on yahoo for OpenSSH...

Mylo

With the possible exception of WebDAV, I think pretty much every other
solution for encrypting FTP requires all FTP clients to install and use new
custom software.

Hi Fabrizio,

Thanks for posting in the community!

From my understanding to this issue, you are going to use FTP with SSL to
build one secure connection with client.

I agree with Mylo. The OpenSSH will be very helpful for you regarding this
issue. The OpenSSH is located at:
http://www.openssh.com/

In addition, you can also use WebDAV for the file transfer. WebDAV can take
advantage of SSL directly. The kb article 323470 will provide more
assistance for you regarding this:

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. I am
standing by to be of assistance.
