Is it possible to create a secure SFTP site within SBS 2003 Premium? I've
deployed the following -
http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1487/setting-up-a- sftp-server-on-windows
and wanted to know if Windows had the same capability as opposed to inserting
this puppy on to the server.
Thanks,
Rick
My understanding is that Windows 2003 does not include FTPS / SFTP
functionality. You would need to use WebDAV over SSL, or maybe IPSec
[possibly the only two solutions that do not require all your clients to
install third party FTP software], or install a third party SSH or FTP server
and clients.

Karl:
My understanding as well but just wanted to make sure I was missing
something.

Nope. Third party FTP servers offer this option though. WFTPD is
one, texis.com.

Another server to consider is JSCAPE Secure FTP Server. Platform
independent with installers for Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris. There
is a free community edition available.
