Oops. My mistake. When will I slow down enough to check what I post ? The
server is only for Winblows.

Hey, I'll check it out anyway. I could put it on a windows box if I have
to. I wonder if it will run under wine?

I was thinking the same thing regarding WINE. Try it and let us know.
Also, you should be aware there are sftp servers for Linux but they are
proprietary (a.k.a. $$$$). So if you don't mind paying do a Google search
for 'sftp for Linux"...

Upon closer examination it looks like the filezilla client supports
sftp, but not the server. The server supports only ftp and ftps. So I
think I'll just go with vsftpd. It will be more painful to get ftps
through the firewall, and my users will always get a message that im not
a trusted certificate from root authority. But on the upside at least I
can have virtual users. I hate to give people system accounts just to
share files or svn.

SFTP = SSH File Transfer Protocol

SSH is part of it. You can't have it without.
