SFTP on Server 2k3

Hey Experts!!
I was wondering if there's a way to setup secure FTP on server 2003? I've come across a bunch of different ways, but my programmer wants to stay strictly Windows based and avoid Unix/Linux.

Is it possible to get a certificate and assign it a port number then have our client connect through that port?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

as far as I know this can only be done with 3rd party products like filezilla or gene6 ftp server

Windows Server 2003 doesn't natively provide SFTP.

I've used GlobalScape's SecureFTP Server (http://www.globalscape.com/gsftps/) to provide SFTP and FTPS access.

@mikainz:
Filezilla supports it only if I throw the s in front of the ftp. (ex: sftp)
So doesn't Server 2K3 have to have something on it in order to be secure as snoopfrogg said?
@snoopfrogg:
I checked out the site and looks like the product may work. Is there anything else I will have to install on the server?

You'll only need the Secure FTP Server software and any associated licensing keys. Globalscape licenses via functionality- you'll receive SFTP functionality w/o any add-ons, but you'll need to purchase add-ons if you want to use FTPS or their HTTPS plugin.

I think that may work for my programmers snoopfrogg. I'll have to wait until they get back with me. Do you have any tutorials on this as well????
