Securing FTP

I have about two hundred users that I need to give FTP access for image uploads.

I can't use sFTP unfortunately. Can I secure FTP so passwords aren't in cleat text ?

Any ideas how to load balance and make it more available with a few servers? Thanks.

Many ftp servers are using clear text transmission

You can use sftp but your system service ssh start:

sftp -l USERID IP-ADDRESS

You could try an ssh tunnel for this. Btw it will only work on PASSIVE mode clients.

ssh -f -L20:localhost:20 -L21:localhost:21 username@server
