Setting up FTP server

I am planning to set up a print server/file server/ftp server on my home network. Should I leave XP Pro on the machine or go back to my copy of 2000? Also, what else do I need to consider as far a security? I am using a D-Link router/firewall. Any input at all would be great, thanks!

about the firewall, when u set up the ftp server or anything that is going to connect to your machine, makes sure you have the other user in the accept or the allow part of the firewall. If not the firewall will block the port and user will be notices as a hacker according to the firewall. So you might want to consider that. But it is fairly easy to setup the firewall to allow connections to be made. I have not used D-Link but i have used Norton Firewall and that is how it works.
