i would suggest to open port to the server or publish it using ISA.

We've installed/enabled IIS to get us an FTP server site on a windows

their password the first time and use their local accounts to ftp
files to/from us.

What if the remote end was not using windows? If they had some type of
unix host, they could still
ftp in but as we set up their local accounts to force changing their
initial password, this would not
work. Or is there some other mechanism we could turn to allow non-
windows machines to connect
and change their initial password (something like telnet)

Does samba perhaps have such a capability? (Their unix end cannot be
the master so smbpasswd
wouldn't work unless it pointed to us to authenticate and allow
password changes)

Thanks

Hi - this doesn't seem to be an AD issue. I'd suggest you post in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web....I'd also suggest you put this
computer in a DMZ and not on your LAN.
