realize now I left out some info. The internal users will be
creating files that the external users will be retrieving. Is that
still doable with two servers?

More secure against what threat? Some external user guessing a
username/password? Probably the second option.
But given that Windows Server 2000 is now out of extended support, I
don't really have that much confidence in either option.
But another option would be to put the FTP server into the DMZ, and
create two FTP sites. One is read-only, and can be accessed by
anyone. The second is read/write, but you use IP restrictions to
ensure that only users on your internal network are able to connect
to it

Subject: which is more secure?
hi everyone,
Please help me determine which is more secure?
1. a Windows 2000 server set up for read/write Ftp that is in the DMZ
with only access thru a firewall both to the inside network and the
internet. Some users will have read/write while most will have read
only as defined by windows file security access.
2. a Windows2000 server setup for read only Ftp access thru the
firewall. internal users will place files on the server via a file
sharing via a separate network interface to the server. External users
will only have read only ftp access to files.
