There is an internet draft, which is the precursor in the IETF
standard process to an RFC, for secure ftp. A new version of this
internet draft was released today. The url is
<ftp://ftp.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-cat-ftpsec-06.txt>.
This draft discussed the general protocol and mechanisms for kerberos
v4 and GSSAPI. A GSSAPI mechanism ships with the MIT kerberos v5
release, so this can be used for v5-based secure ftp.
The only GSSAPI-based ftp implementation I'm aware of is available
from OpenVision as a part of our OpenV*Secure product. There is one
kerberos v4 implementation, but I don't recall the ftp site offhand.
I've gotten email from a few other people mentioning potential
implementation work. I'll let them speak up if they want to. If
anybody else knows of any other implementation work, I'd like to hear
about it.
