OpenSSH for Windows
So a friend of mine told me about OpenSSH for Windows and WinSCP. I got both installed and running in about 20 minutes. Both have really good documentation. I feel a lot better about my FTP traffic now.
"SSH is a secure way to connect to another computer system. This protocol supports a telnet alternative (usually called SSH itself), a secure file copy program (SCP) and a secure FTP program (SFTP). The SSH protocol also lets you establish secure connections with other programs or protocols through the use of port forwarding. This means that mail protocols, vnc, and other programs can be used with encryption between two machines."

"WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client for Windows using SSH. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer."
