well, you could run something free but good like FileZilla server, so that
it does NOT have access to any Active Directory accounts... you simply have
it set on a separate folder with it's own service/user that ONLY has
permissions to that folder and no where else.  Then create FileZilla logins
as needed with their own permissions.
Serv-U-FTP was also a very good low cost option with similar setup
 
 
or several middle-man transfers like http://www.yousendit.com

Subject: FTP alternatives



I have always been told that running an FTP site opens your network more
than necessary. I recently converted my FTP server from 03 to 08 and my FTP
setup has been sketchy, I must be doing something wrong. 

 

Instead of pursuing a fix for FTP, I wonder if there is a reasonable (cheap)
alternative. This is a non-profit Museum, so not much money, but at least a
dozen of our employees need to move large files back and forth. Locally
hosted FTP has been fine, but with Server 08, I am missing something. 

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?
