Is it possible to have Secure FTP? The same way that you can have
secure HTTP(https://)?

Thanks

Sure. Several third party FTP servers have this option.

Some such options are listed here:

Note that except for using HTTPS for file downloads only, or WebDAV over
HTTPS for uploads and downloads, any encrypted FTP solution you choose is
going to require that every client have proprietary client software
installed.

TCP Data has a secure server wrapper (and freeware sftp client
wrapper). You can have SSL based sftp and keep your existing server and
clients.

www.tcpdata.com go to the ftp Guardian pages
