HI Titans of Technology!!

I have been giving a task in my office(HO) to enable users from our branch offices to be to access our Windows 2003 Server....
*I have my Public IP ready which was giving to me by our ISP*
*I have 1 network card*
I hereby configured FTP on the Wondows 2003 Server and i was able to access it internally from any PC. That is, with the private static ip that was assigned to it...(Atleast ive been able to show the management that its possible...
Now I want to take to the next level by allowing staffs from the outside world to be able to access files on the windows 2003 server ...
I need help and steps about this...
Thanks for your response...

If you try to access company file server from Internet, you need to enable port forwarding on router in order to achieve it.

Also please don't use FTP server if possible, because the username/password will be sent in clear text, try to use these Secure FTP servers that will encrypt communication data.

Hope this helps.
