We'd (IT) would prefer to use SFTP and not use IIS for anything. However, we have to cater to the powers that be. Our people want to have access to their files but don't want to use an FTP client. They just want to be able to browse (using IE) and get their stuff.
It doesn't matter if we tell them about the security issues ... it doesn't matter if we tell them how sloooooooow FTP runs in a browser. They just want it simple.
The reason I want to move to another box is so that if I have to shut down FTP (for any reason) I'm not interfering with the file services for local users.
I'm still in the research phase.
