While it didn’t ship with Server 2008, Microsoft added a new FTP
Server for the new version off IIS. Unfortunately it is not an SFTP
server, at best supporting FTP/S. However the new authentication options still
make it a winner. You can provide a virtual FTP host for each web site you host with
IIS 7. Just remember to login with [siteFQDN]|[username]…like

The pipey notation tells the server which vhost you belong to. Not elegant. Just way
better than it was previously.

Next I’m excited to play with provider-based
authentication. Having a pluggable architecture for logging in makes this FTP
server really powerful.
