    It's not HTTPS you want as an FTP replacement, rather SFTP, which is an extension of SSH.

    FTP/HTTP are two different protocols. You can get Apache modules to support FTP though, but you still need a FTP server. SFTP over SSH works but this is Windows box so doesn't work without some playing around with (since you need to install a Windows based SSH server, which may or may not support SFTP).

    OP could you clarify the question a little more so we can provide proper help? Do you have an FTP server installed?

    Dear Site people:

    OK, will be totally avoiding VPN tunneling. Wish to do uploads and/or downloads from ANY particular computer, but will avoid, hopefully, hackers! Will only be doing download updating, is the easiest way to put it, with completely above board registry updates and such. The only reason for https is for package purchasing at the start. So, is this saying that perhaps two different servers would be needed for the separate functions?

    Am sure ignorant where it counts,

    Both are two different protocols. FTP is an application protocol that uses TCP/IP protocols. Now it currently supports HTTPS by using STunnel. But the developer team working on STunnel.
