Keep it simple. Use Sharepoint Services 3.0 (free) and setup forms based authentication back to your AD. Use an SSL cert and everything should be golden security wise. (google is your friend with this)
Ignore all the fancy crap like blogs, wikis, mysites. Just offer a home page with a link to a document library (ies) and make everything click through. Automatic breadcrumbs should make navigation easy. We are in the process of setting this up now and the external site is brutally simple. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Matt Plahtinsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 9:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: FTP Server Web front end The question I have been asking myself when testing different FTP clients is.....
