FTP services for Vendor access

[Keith Furrow <kfurrow () PCC EDU>]

I've been charged with investigating our deployment of FTP services
used to share data with vendors, contractors, other institutions,
etc.,  and have some questions for the group:

1.  Does your organization host ftp services for vendors on a
dedicated FTP server, or is it integrated with another server such as
 web or file and print servers?  Is it the same server used by your
staff, faculty and/or student users?

2.  Do you require secure FTP?

3.  What type of service do you use?  Examples: FTP on Netware,
Windows IIS/FTP, Unix/Linux (with what FTP daemon).

4. How is your environment working for you?

Thanks for your information!
