Paul F. Roberts at PC Magazine needs to check his water supply for hexavalent chromium.  He claims that "The recent move by Apple Computer to begin shipping Macintosh computers that use microprocessors from Intel could open the door to more attacks against computers running the company's OS X operating system."  [http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1915923,00.asp, eWeek, January 26, 2006]  What?  Just because Microsoft can't write secure code in its own OS for Intel doesn't mean that Apple is going to inherit its problems.  The security issues are with the operating system and not with the processor.

The goal of this project is to set up secure encrypted FTP services on a Windows based machine without integrating security with Active Directory (AD).  The reason that I did not want to integrate with AD is that I did not want to allow normal Windows users access to the site.  The site is for individuals external to my organization that need access to a location to upload and retrieve files without having to grant them access to physical data stores on the network.
