Hi I need to setup a new FTP server that would allow people from outside the domain to upload files to the server from the internet. What would you recommand. I am running
SBS 2003 for my server, but would like to keep the FTP server seperate from it. Thanks

... number of users, total storage capacity needed for the files to be held, and in general more about performance needs vs. resource constraints.

Ideally, the FTP server should sit in a DMZ or a perimeter network between 2 firewalls. Outside users will only target the public IP address of the FTP server, but for administration purposes, one would setup a static NAT entry on the internal firewall to map the server's public IP address on the DMZ. That way, you can manage it from the inside, but outside users are prevented from accessing your internal LAN.
