Ben,
This may help.
I have a similar ftp LAN setup in my office.
1. Linux Firewall and router.
2. 1 Linux box.
3. 5 FreeBSD boxes. ( You have to change files to allow each box to
send/receive ftp. It is off normally for security, in /etc/inetd.conf
and /etc.hosts files )
4. 1 M$ box. (not Mine)
I use Igloo and GFTP as the ftp programs.
All boxes and any users on them, can ftp between each other since I gave
them all fixed IP addresses on the LAN. ( 8 with the router.) I don't
use anonomus logins. Even the M$ box works with the IP assignments. (You
can set a FreeBSD box to receive anonomus logins if you wanted to from
the (/stand/sysinstall) setup screen, but I don't use this feature.)
