ssl / ftp question

[coastal593]

i want to build a good sftp server, that specifically DENIES any insecure ftp connection. sftp is great out of the box in os x, but it doesn't do this denial for me, and i have a need for a far more configurable ftp server. right now my server is a proftpd (.2.7) using mod_sql for a mysql user database. while this works well, proftpd doesn't support ssl.

suggestions as to a good ssl-ftp blend?

thanks

stunnel can wrap your existing FTP server with SSL support.
fink install stunnel
is the easiest way to install stunnel.

Generate your self-signed Open SSL cert and you should be in business.
