I have been asked by my organization to send daily files via ftp to a vendor. I'm totally clueless on where to begin. &nbsp;The vendor is opening up their ftp site for my PCs IP address. Apparently we'll be using PGP encryption and they'll have a key for me.<br />
<br />
My questions are:<br />
1. &nbsp; Is it possible to FTP from a Windows 2000 workstation.<br />
2. &nbsp;How do I set up my computer to send FTP files. &nbsp;They suggested secure FTP. &nbsp;Can I just use FileZilla? <br />
3. &nbsp;I am supposed to give the vendor my IP Address. I know my inside IP address is static. &nbsp;How do I determine my IP address to give to the vendor?<br />
4. &nbsp;The sending of files will need to be very secure. &nbsp;Is there anything I need to be made aware of? <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

sending secure files via ftp

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
