| We are planning on using the FTP adapter for incoming messages. My question
is more about FTP than BizTalk. In order to set up a secure FTP site on our
Windows 2003 Server, would it be advisable (or necessary) to use third party
software?

| Hello Bob,
Secure FTP: that is a contradiction. FTP is never secure, except when you
use an SSH tunnel (but that is not a part of FTP). As far as I know the FTP
server of Windows is rather safe, meaning that nobody will access to files
that are not shared via FTP. But do not forget, it is very easy to steal an
FTP password, so if somebody has assess through FTP everybody has.
Greetings,
Bryan.

| there are 2 kind of protocols available: FTPS (FTP on SSL) and SFTP(using
SSH but not FTP protocol). there are 3rd party adapters for them, but i
think they are still in beta. we are in the process of choosing one of
them. but i don't know which one is better than another or which one has
large customer base.
anyone has idea about it??
thanks,
jj

| If it's possible to set up a VPN, then the FTP adapter will work fine. I'm
using it this way in a project now.
