My team has developed an application that uses the .NET "FtpOpenFile" command.

How can I find out if this FTP comamnd is secure...
Well, I guess in general does .NET support secure FTPs - if so, how do I use
it?

Pointers to any doco would be greatly appreciated.

Help!
 
FTP functionality with WinInet can be secured with VPN connection between an
FTP client and an FTP server.
You can also purchase secure ftp server/client software from a third party.
If you decide to look outside FTP, I would recommend either HTTPS or Secure
Sockets.

Third party is not an option... the FTP must be initialed via the .NET
application...

How do I establish a secured VPN connection b/w the two severs?
 
Open Windows Networking and create a new VPN connection.
Use Rasdial to connect to dial this VPN entry. Once connected, use Ras to
find out what server IP is and then pass this IP to your WinInet Ftp call.
When done, disconnect ftp and then close your VPN connection.

1st off thanks for the input - it is greatly appreciated.

Can you point me in the direction of some doco and/or examples - I'd like to
investigate the VPN connection further.

Thanks again.
