I am looking for a decent price FTP Server that is secure for our Windows 2003 Server. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I havent found any below 300$. :( Thanks!

What do you mean secure ?

Windows Server 2003 comes with a built-in FTP server (and Web, SMTP, NNTP, POP3 Servers).

My business partner dosent think its secure.Is that just his irrational opinion based on hype, or does he actually have any evidence to back it up ?

FTP (as a protocol) is not even remotely secure anyway - so worrying about the server is a bit OTT.

Id assume his basis is on the security of IIS and FTP as a whole.

I used the Gene6 FTP server software when I used to host gaming servers. It's pretty easy to setup and they claim that it's fairly safe. I tried using the FTP software built into Windows 2003 Server, but I could never get it working properly...
