What is the secure way to share data between Intranet and Extranet?

[asdf]

Hi,

I have the scenario where I have one database and need to allow to see the
information accessible from Intranet and (future)Extranet. I wonder what is
the most feasible and secure way of doing it without buying second license
for MS SQL and duplicating data. So far I am leaning towards Web Services
but we have ideas for MySQL, XML and using FTP to transfer the data in
files. Which way is the most secure and feasible or is there something else.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Tom

it depends on your needs.

if you need to transfer files/data then perhaps the ftp method would be
your best bet, if you need to just transfer database records or object
information then webservices is the way to go.

Post what your actual needs are as far as the data you need to transfer
over the internet we can point you in an appropriate direction.

thanks!

If your data is <= 4Gb per database I would use SQL Express which enables
you to reuse all of your existing skills and resources.
