Thank you for your replies.
I am aware of the WinSCP program for MS boxes.
There is a corresponding Mac program called Nifty
Telnet/SSH/SCP client that does the same thing.

Both are free programs. 
The problem is that the Nifty program for the Macs is
not intuitive, and cumbersome for newbies to easily
grasp, and hence they complain about using it.

It is much easier for them to use Fetch, which is a
popular and easy to use ftp client for Macs.

So there is my problem. I already have people using
WinSCP over the SSH tunnel to transfer files, but I
need to install an ftp server to satisfy the Mac
clients, unless an easier program than Nifty can be
obtained.
HTH...
