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.

The question I have been asking myself when testing different FTP clients 
is.....  Could grandma use this?   Sharepoint might be the easiest.  Damn I was 
really wanting to avoid supporting a sharepoint site.
