One of the most frequent question I hear is not so much about IIS but about some "add on" feautres like FTP. The IIS team has said various things and different times about topics like WebDAV, secure ftp, and FPSE (FrontPage Server Extensions). I asked the PM in charge of these things about what's going on and here's the official word.

• There will be an updated FTP server that will include FTPS not SFTP.
• There is a plan in place to provide FPSE equiavlent functionality/compatability. Hopefully there will be more details on this forthcoming.
• They are also working on a DAV provider.

Ok, I know that's vauge, but trust me - it's less vauge than usual on these topics. The key point here is that the "plan" is to have these capabllities in IIS 7. I put plan in quotes because even though it is not forseen, plans can change.

If you have questions, post them here or on IIS.net forums.

Thanks,

Brett
