Two windows XP Computers connecting through two separate ethernet cards

Dear All,
I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now but
I am still stumped. I have 2 computers (computer A and Computer B).
Computer A is a user computer that is connected to the rest of the
computers in the office on the same network. Computer B is an FTP
server that is physically in the same office, but connected to a
different internet provider and source. I want to be able to have any
user on Computer A's network add files directly to the FTP server
without logging into the FTP server going over the internet, but rather
through Computer A to Computer B using 2 directly connected Ethernet
cards connected by a twist cable. I have set up both ethernet cards on
computer A and computer B and am able to ping between them, but aside
from that I can't see what is going on from one computer to another in
order to share a folder on Computer B with Computer A.

I have tried using VPN but that only slows my computer and
compromises the usage of my first ethernet card which is connected to
Computer A's network and not the connection between Computer A and
Computer B. If anyone can provide any solutions I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
