just dont forget - machines may have an sftp binary, but you still need a SSH server running with sftp enabled on the target box for winscp to connect to...

Anyone have experience with good ways to do secure ftp (ftp over ssl) in an enterprise setting? We use ftp for partner

anyone know of a firewall that does ssl that can also encrypt ftp?




AFAIK you can't use FTP over SSL.
But you can use the SSH-FTP- Server/Client which is crypted by design.

Marek is right on track here. Take a look at Windows clients like putty
with psftp and CuteFTP Pro. IIRC my *nix machines all have a "sftp"
binary.
