Author Secure FTP using WebDav

Hello!

I've read some MS KB articles that suggest using WebDav for secure FTP file
transfers. Is this a viable solution to replace IIS FTP without a 3rd party
app. for secure files transfers? If so, where can I find a white paper on
how to configure WebDav for FTP?

Thanks!

Webdav and secure ftp is 2 diff techs.
Webdav is via HTTP, while secure ftp can be in shell mode sftp or ssl cert
for ftps.

IIS 6 doesn't support ftps, W2k8 with separate download for ftp support
ftps.

To secure webdav, you can have https for the communication, google secure
webdav at microsoft.com
