Automated file transfer

I want to automate the file transfer from a remote site to my pc over a WAN. Can anyone please suggest an industry standard secure file transfer tool for a windows environment?

I am looking for an industry accepted, more secure than traditional FTP.
Thanks!

Very strange o_O

This is becoming the preferred way of advertising for people who know places like ours don't like spam. Most of the time I delete on sight.. email the person asking them to stop, or if I'm feeling nice or apathetic, just leave them to someone else to delete. There's someone else that just does really pointless replies to threads just to get their sig and link on the thread.

Thankfully this is the worst we get now that the image challenge is there. Its worked a treat.

Maybe we should delete the link from trish123 or point it to tubgirl? :)

I've got it covered!

Very sneaky, though.

The other thing you see a lot of are "guides" on how to convert DVDs into videos for iPods, PSPs, etc. Those are also spam. How do you know? Well, if you see the same guide at place like recipe sites or fanfiction discussion boards, you know it's spam.
