Hi Johnboy007,

Finally someone answered. I have been searching Microsoft Website for a
guide about Web Edition. Have not found one yet. We want to setup this
server to store files that will be reference on our website (hosted by
Godaddy). Clients will be able to click on the link on our website and
download the files from this server.

Thanks

ALWAYS have a firewall in front of you server external or not and
definately
ANTI-Virus recommendation: kaspersky or Avg. If it is for file transfer
open
just FTP on you firewall or http (as you wish). What do you wish to do
with
this server?

We are installing a Windows 2003 Server Web Edition to host an external

Should we Join it to our SBS 2003 Premium Edition Domain?

How do we secure it? Do we install a firewall infront of it? Do we
install
ISA on it? Should we install an antivirus program on it? Which one do
you
recommend?
