For secure FTP, check out Differential's FileDrive product at
http://www.differential.com.
Besides offering secure guaranteed FTP, it also offers a cool web administration
interface, agents to do all sorts of tasks, and many other awesome features. I won't
flood the list with the complete sales pitch though, if you need more information,
call the sales line at 1-877-987-2638, or send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, FYI, SSH2 is not free. I believe the USA resellers are www.datafellows.com.
