This is a fairly complex question, but I'm hoping to start a good discussion.
I have a client who needs to send a file daily over sftp. I decided to install the sftp on a windows virtual machine and following the following article: http://www.itq.nl/blogs/post/Walkthrough-Hosting-FTP-on-IIS-75-in-Windows-Azure-VM.aspx. This article only sets up a normal ftp server.
As I stated I need this to be sftp. I have a couple questions on how to accomplish this:
1) Are there any good articles on how to setup sftp on a Windows Virtual Machine through Azure?
2) If this is possible I will need to purchase an SSL certificate to accomplish sftp. If I currently own a domain can I point a subdomain to my sftp setup on a virtual machine? Meaning if I own www.domain.com can I buy an SSL certificate for www.sub.domain.com and point this to my sftp?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
