SFTP?

[ddrueding]

If you had to setup a secure FTP server, what would you use?

Some things I've already got:

1. Dedicated server
2. Isolated VLAN
3. Rules to only allow FTP traffic through (ports 20-23, correct?)

What I need is suggestions on the software. The OS will be Server 2003 because that is what I know how to use. I am assuming that the FTP that is part of IIS is not the most secure way to go about this. It needs no AD integration, console-only standalone usernames/passwords is just fine. The ability to set different home directories for each user accound would be lovely.

TIA

If I was going to set up sftp on a Windows box I'd probably use sshwindows which basically installs all the bits of Cygwin an associated software that you need to run ssh and sftp/scp. This solution is console only and has it's own passwords file but it can import all your windows users and will respect existing user permissions. It also allows for configuration of seperate home directories. One thing to be aware of is that I suspect it will use Cygwins interpretation of your file system so all the paths will be in a Unix format.

I set one up the other month but I forgot which one I used. I'll check tomorrow.
