Thanks for the input. You are the only one who at least took the time to read and answer. I think you are partially right but I was looking at more info on SFTP setup/applications.

Helllloooooo!<br />
<br />
I have created a RAID 1 500GB (3 partitions) computer running XP Home. <br />
<br />
What I want to do: I have multiple users (approx 10). I want to allow users access to each of the 3 partitions based on some sort of security (XP or otherwise). So some users can get to all 3 partitions and some users only 2 and some only 1. I want the partitions to be accessible via Secure FTP so the users can access the box when in the office or on the road.<br />
<br />
The box is on a simple workgroup network. Do I put the box in the DMZ of the Linksys router? Do I open ports on the router and keep it in the network? Obviously I want to keep people out.<br />
<br />
I am looking for the best approach for this. Can anyone make suggestions?

Best Practice for Creating FTP server on RAID 1 XP Home

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.
