I was recently helping in the forums regarding the FTP 7.0 publishing service. Here is the post. http://forums.iis.net/t/1147315.aspx The FTP 7.0 publishing service is one of the real gems available in IIS 7.0. It is an ‘out of band’ release to replace the IIS 6 FTP service (actually this service has been around awhile, IIS 3.0 maybe!) Anyway, there is a lot of great information posted on IIS.net. I was able reproduce and resolve an 534 TLS error that had been posted. The thread covers what I did to work around it. In my research, I found some great articles that cover installation, troubleshooting, how to setup ‘FTP’ host-headered sites. I listed below three clients I tested that were able to connect to IIS 7.0 while SSL was enabled. Talk about a straight forward, secure solution!
