Hi Andy,

No, normal FTP isn't encrypted at all.  There is secure FTP, which isn't
part of IIS, but there are applications you can install on Windows machines
for secure FTP.  I don't really know too much about it other than the fact
that it exists, and you can host a secure FTP site on a Windows server.  If
you're interested in joining another list where you'll find more info, I
suggest [EMAIL PROTECTED]  http://thin.net/win2000list.cfm  Not to
take anything away from this list, but that list is the best list that I
have ever been on.  I believe that the collective knowledge of that list is
greater than God's!  It's an absolutely outstanding list.  See you there!
:]
