[FW1] Encrypting passwords

["Thornton, Richard" <Richard.Thornton@FW1-NOSPAMisd.csa.scot.nhs.uk>]

Hi Group

I know this question has been asked before but the answers have been to
vague for me to understand.

I have the following problem:

I am running an all NT network.
Win95 FTP Clients upload updates to the MS FTP server over the internet.
My NT firewall-1 box sits between the FTP Server and the Clients.

I require a means of encrypting the passwords sent to the FTP server from
the clients, I know previously someone in the group suggested SSH2 (secure
shell?) would this only work in UNIX.

It would be possible for me to install a linux FTP server and implement SSH
to encrypt the control channel but how would this impact the NT clients?

Is there a better solution available for allowing encrypted passwords to
access ftp over the internet?

Many Thanks
