IPSwitch WS-FTP Pro and IE7 on Windows Server 2003
Finally figured out here to get IE7 and WS-FTP Pro to work together on a Windows Server 2003 machine.

It appears the WS-FTP install includes an old version of psapi.dll. Renaming that prevents the "Never" dialog from appearing.

Beginning Ajax with ASP.NET
by Wallace B. McClure, Scott Cate, Paul Glavich, Craig Shoemaker

And you can buy the book from Amazon here:
An important part of any type of distributed application is how data is pushed around between tiers or layers of the application. Additionally, with Ajax, several concepts are fairly important to know and understand, concepts involved with building distributed heterogeneous environments. Accordingly, in this chapter, you are going to look at:
XML - XML is Extensible Markup Language. It is primarily used for data interchange.
XSLT - XSLT is Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. XSLT is designed to take XML data from one format and put it into another format.
JSON - JSON is the JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is a lightweight data interchange format.The sample chapter is available for download here:

Running IPSwitch WS_FTP on Windows Server 2003 SP1 - Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
I had a problem running WS_FTP (http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp/index.asp) on my Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1. Whenever I would start an FTP transfer the application would crash. Finally I figured out it was Data Execution Prevention that was preventing it from running. Data Exection Prevention monitors your programs to determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable." If a program tries to run code—malicious or not—from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you. [REFERENCE: WINDOWS HELP]
DEP can be found under System Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention Tab
Allowing WS_FTP in the above dialog solved the problem.
