I am wanting to leave my FTP site open. I have all the
correct NTFS permissions applied so nobody can write or
change anything. The only problem is that I see the in
my logs alot of people I don't know who are trying to
access it and do strange things to it. Obviously trying
to hack my site. I know that in IIS it doesn't recommend
using passwords on the site, because IE doesn't encrypt
FTP passwords.

So I guess my question is... How can I create my FTP site
to use SSL, so that I can assign accounts to use
passwords so that I know who will be on my machine when
and what they did?

thanks
 
Get a SecureFTP implementation and use it instead
of the FTP provided with Windows, unless you are
talking of using FTP wholy within an Active Directory.
The provided FTP is a standards compliant implementation
of FTP and as such uses clear text authentication.
