We are opening an FTP server to the Internet.  The FTP server potentially 
will handle multiple simultaneous connections.

The FTP server is a private server requiring a username and password.
Yes we are running M$ and SQL Server, but will migrate to UNIX and probably 
Oracle before the year is out.

Questions:
1.      Generally speaking is there a limit on simultaneous FTP connections?
2.      Are usernames and passwords sent via clear text?
3.      If so, what do you suggest to encrypt them? (VPN?)
4.      Are there any other security risks (besides the security hole called 
Win2000) that I should be aware of?

Thanks -
