Hello Robert,

You can use SFTP which is part of Secure shell package,

And, You can also install ProFTPD and configure it with SSL, ProFTPD is part of Internet Express suite,

Shalom Robert,

SFTP is part of openssh, which HP repackages as secure shell.

vsftp is a ftp server that uses the plain old clear text authentication that all ftp servers use.

It is possible with kerberos to make ftp secure or even to have openssh listen on port 21.

Secure shell does authentication and transmission of data encrypted and is more secure than vsftpd.

Secure FTP (sftp) is a better option. Part of the Secure Shell package from HP or download from OpenSSL and roll your own.
