Just one thing to add to the previous expert. &nbsp;I've had good luck in the past using <a href="https://www.bitvise.com/" rel="ugc">Bitvise</a> for SFTP. &nbsp;It's just one more option in the third party SFTP realm. &nbsp;Patches have been timely (especially security patches), configuration in the current version is fairly easy, and it can use active directory users easily enough.<br />
<br />
The big thing to be aware of, however, is that users will need to use a SFTP client, which is certainly not as ubiquitous as http/https/ftp clients. &nbsp;Which solution you use to transfer the files may well be greatly influence by that consideration. &nbsp;(And on that note, WinSCP (William Miller already linked above) has a good client side SFTP client.)

I have read that Windows 2012 and 2008 IIS do not natively support SFTP. They support FTPS or FTP over. What would be the best options for securing FTP file transfers? Maybe using HTTPS?<br />

Windows 2012 and 2008 IIS - need secure FTP

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
