Enabling FTP over SSL

With the FTP server in IIS7 and above, Microsoft has implemented "FTP over SSL," which will encrypt the session between an FTP program that supports FTP over SSL and the FTP server.

We have enabled this feature on the servers by default, so if your FTP program supports FTP over SSL, consult the program's help files for instructions on use or activation.

We have created step-by-step instructions for some common FTP programs:

How to set up Core FTP LE to use FTP over SSL
How to set up WS_FTP Professional to use FTP over SSL
How to set up SmartFTP to use FTP over SSL
How to set up FileZilla to use FTP over SSL
How to set up CuteFTP to use FTP over SSL
