you have Debian you install the ssh server and this will put the secure copy/ftp clients
too. This way you just allow anonymous access and if your users want to upload anything to
your server they will use a secure connection to their home directories. Good for loggin
purposes too!

If it is an iptables/firewall proble, system-config-firewall or maybe
system-config-securitylevel can be used to fix it

Keep in mind that system-config-firewall opens a port in a general
sense and offers
no granularity to specify only this or that IP.
Is there a system-config-securitylevel package for F11?
