Thanks. I ended up taking advantage of the dual-port nature of the network card. I locked
down one side tighter than Fort Knox, except for anonymous-only FTP access, and fed it
unprotected to the Internet. The other port is still behind our firewall, and only
connects to our internal LAN. This allows me to update the server in the background (and
back it up), while FTP traffic bypasses the firewall altogether.
Keep the peace(es).

Try again, Chuck. I've converted (and secured)
the server so that it no
longer needs to be behind the firewall.
Thanks much.

I was able to get logged in, but it doesn't appear as if your server
supports passive FTP mode--and my firewall won't allow port mode, so I
didn't get much past the login.
