1. why do you want FTP? FTP is a probable insecure protocol for sharing files. There is serious risks involved with running FTP. If you are running it only for your network than i suggest using SCP to share file between computer or SFTP if you really want an ftp server. They are SSH tools for secure ftp and cp (copying) across networks or internet.
3. SSL is secure socket layer. It imploys 3 level protection for information going across the internet through a web browser. SSL is a three-tiered method that employs RSA and DES athentication, as well as additional MD5 integretity checking.You must install SSL in your webserver if you want to use it on yer website. At conenction time of a client to the webserver they define and exchange a secret key which is used to encrypt the traffik between them. It is definatley not a must if you are starting a webserver unless you plan to be taking confidential information from people (such as credit card numbers).
4. There is a lot of firewalls you can dl and isntall. I wrote my own firewall using ipchains (i also used iptables to create one). Do "man iptables" and "man ipchains". Also Search for a thread in the linux forum by the name of "Simple ipchains question".
5. are you talking about the ultimate number of connections between it and anything? Or between the internet and a webserver??

i recomend against running an anonymous FTP server on the internet. It is also more likely that script kiddies will store lots of warez on your server than viru and trojans.
