Author Secure FTP service?

Hi,

this might be a rather common question. Please excuse my ignorance, I
couldn't Google or MS(D)N any information on the following:

Does IIS provide secure FTP? I feel rather queasy when connecting to my
production web server over the web to update my web application and
retrieving highly private company data.

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

No, MS does not provide SFTP or FTPS, just plain old fashioned FTP.
I you want to acquire that data with what ships with Windows get it via
HTTPS at a web interface.

Hi Alex,

Altough IIS doesn't support Secure FTP you can use a third party tool
like SSLTunnel to do it.checkout http://sourceforge.net/projects/ssltunnel/

Cheers,
