How Do I Make An FTP Thing..

[Dr. Doom]

How would I make a thing where people can download files straight from my computer. Is this possible?

well if you want to be cheezy just leave the directory browsing option on, or make an asp/php database system to show all files.

or download cute ftp or serv-u, both free :)

install apache on your computer:
www.apache.org

get your IP address:
www.whatismyipaddress.com

et voila, you have an http server set up, you can send files through it, access it through your IP

^With that one, can people have access to the folders I want them to straight from my computer?

yeah, you just put the files in C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs\.

Then, when you've found out your IP, just access your files thru http://youripgoeshere/filename.ext.

[Dr. Doom]

Aight. They can't add files or delete files tho right?

[ahmed]

Nope, unless you host some kind of a script for doing so, which will also require you to run in the php module on your computer..

Okay, so can someone find me a direct download? I couldn't get any of that.. or tell me where to look? Theres like 80000 links on that site.
