Securing FTP
How to Secure your file transfers on a Windows FTP Server from network sniffing?
Well, short of using 3rd-party components, the only alternative that I can think of right now is using VPN, if we are only after the security of FTP usage against network sniffing.
yeah-yeah, why not simply use HTTP file transfers (like posting acceptor,webdav,web folders,web services,WSE 1.0/2.0)? because that was not the question :) (and it's slower. especially SOAP)
oh how easy it is on unix boxes (ssh)
