I am trying to set up a ftp site using a program serv U 3.01 I am behind a firewall and I was trying to use this service they offer to use DNS call TZO dynamics and I am having a ruff time setting this up is there any easy program out there that will help me do this. The reason I want to set this up is we have choosen to stop allowing anyone to send or recieve exe. zip. file threw our exchange server so I was thinking if i set up a ftp site I could put these files there and give people passwords and login we could exchange these files this way. Can you assit me with how to go about setting this up or tell me a program that is easy to set this up

Install new NT/2K Server, DO NOT JOIN THE SERVER TO THE DOMAIN, Install The default FTP,DNS and whatever you need on that server.

Security:
Since this server is not in the domain you can put it in the DMZ.
No domain password are exposed to the Internet (you can use encrypted passwords but I don't think it's necessary).

Recommended:
Use quota to avoid being a warez site.

Optional:
Configure 3rd computer to pull files from the FTP folder to the local network automaticly.
