As Andy says, get a USB ethernet device eg
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-1000Mbps-Ethernet-Indicator-Compatible/dp/B003
EDY97A/ref=sr_1_6?crid=32S9GTPRH0137&dchild=1&keywords=usb+ethernet+adapter&qid
=1593199202&sprefix=usb+ethernet%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-6

Put built-in ethernet on one segment and the USB one on the other. Plug
adapters into relevant switch/router. Computers on each segment can then
"talk" to the pi.

To set up ftp, install vsftpd and see here
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-for-anony
mous-downloads-on-ubuntu-16-04

The /var/ftp/pub (or /srv/ftp/pub) is then a public directory where any
user can upload or download files. If you need more security, come back.

You can use ftp (from the command line) or something like Filezilla from
Windows or Linux to up or download files anonymously.
/var/log/vsftpd.log will keep a record of who does what and from which
IP address.

As I said earlier, this simple install will only be sufficient for an
internal ftp server where you can be sure your clients can be trusted.
