What?!? You don't have WS08 Hypervisor running on your laptop to provide you with a 2-inch-thick portable data center?

There are some very cool security mechanisms built in - but, they will no doubt trip some people up... (like how you can't copy content to web source directories over the network, or how you can't directly edit web content in those directories). Native FTPS in 2008 IIS is quite nice, actually. But, IIS6 is still a fine option - it is and has been secure OOB for a while - nothing like IIS5 at all -- seems like people get stuck in the very distant past when questions like this come up and everyone says "NEVER RUN IIS!!" - it's quite silly, actually. t > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Schaefer > Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 10:15 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: FTP on IIS > > Alternatively, if you can wait a few weeks, then Windows Server > 2008/IIS 7.0 supports FTPS > > Cheers > Ken > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucas, Mark J. > Sent: Saturday, 19 January 2008 9:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: FTP on IIS > > IIS 6, which comes with Windows Server 2003, is quite secure out of the > box.
