I need to create a FTP server on my network and make it available to that my users can share files with external people and it needs to be hippa compliant. &nbsp;I have looked a few solutions. &nbsp;I have a FTP server using IIS and I stopped anonymous connections but that requires someone to connect in with domain\username and password and it is not secure or hippa compliant. &nbsp;I know I can use filezilla or coreftp but I dont' want the external people to be required to use any clients. &nbsp;I want to be able to send them a url with a username and password and they can connect it and pull down their files.<br />
<br />
How can I most effectively achieve this? &nbsp;I am in an Win 2003 server environment. &nbsp;If I need to outsource this, I am open to that as well but prefer to keep something as simple as this in house.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

create a secure FTP hippa compliant server

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Internet Protocols

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
