It is included in every distribution of ssh that I've seen, and works just like traditional ftp. If you go with sftp2 (ssh2), then you have a pretty darn secure daemon. A number of Windows clients even include the functionality. I use SSH's SSH2 program and it comes with a fairly useful, if no frills, FTP program. The only downside is that few normal programs can interact with it - you have to have an sftp type program to communicate. This isn't necessarily a problem, unless you have users who are using non secure ftp programs. If you are, then you can still wrap ftp, and at least limit your exposure.

What are people using as a replacement to transfer files? I am particularly interested in a method that could be recommended to my Windows users (i.e. need some graphical client for Win).
