Security Basics: RE: firewalls that can ssl ftp?

["Aditya [ Aditya Lalit Deshmukh ]" <aditya.deshmukh () online gateway technolabs net>]

to the best of my knowledge the stunnel will work for only single socket protocols like http, smtp etc not for ftp 
which has 2 sockets, data and control

but you may use a ssh tool ie scp for doing this sort of things 

there are some sftp servers avilabe on the market - you could use them if you want - but scp is much eaiser to use and 
administer
