vsftpd and proftpd (amongst others) support AUTH. read their documentation and follow the guides accordingly.

sftp is part of ssh. you can't "switch" to it, as they are totally unrelated, and if your server is already running an SSH service, then it's 99% going to already have sftp available for use.

SFTP - go read about what it is. sftp will never have anything to do with IE. It sounds like this is a serious enough situation your in for you to take the responsibility and initiative to actually understand what sftp is.

as for AUTH, maybe you want to check this, or one of many many similar docs out there http://www.wikidsystems.com/support/...uthentication/
