R – SFTP with SharePoint when live over the internet

mosssharepoint

We are using MOSS 2007.

We are about to make one of our SharePoint sites live over the internet but we wants the file upload/download to be SFTP. Is this possible in SharePoint, if so how can this be done? Must it be done through custom code (Please provide me with an example) or is there a setting somehwere where you can turn uploads and download of the site to SFTP?

Thanks in advance!

Well SharePoint does not use FTP at all. It's files are being stored directly to database so there is no need for FTP.

By default it uses HTTP/HTTPS for file upload/download from web and WebDAV in case you are using multiple upload / explorer view.

In case you want to protect your files I would advise publishing your site via HTTPS only.
