seting up a download server

i have built a computer that i want to set up so i can put files on it and people can download from it does anyone no how to do this?

 

Do you just want one or two people accessing files on this computer? Or do you want to allow hundreds of people accessing this computer?

 

like a web page dat all it is there for is to upload and download files

 

May be this can Help: Simple Serving - Serve Files to Family and Friends over the Internet.

Link to: How can connect to my Computer/Server through the Internet?(Aka DNS Service)

 

i wana set it up like the program "easy file sharing web server" only i dont want to buy anything

 

May be you wana read the content of the two links above every thing that is described there is Free.

Try to understand the principle of setting it up.

The program that you are going to use is secondary in the whole process, there are practically more than 100 Free ftp and Web sharing programs, if you wana to succeed you have to like understand how like the thing works in principle and than you can like be like you own like man.

 

k ill read them again and try it

 

ok that helps BUT that is not exactily what i asked for because as far as i can tell ppl cant UPLOAD throug the internet.

 

Uh, yes you can. Your computer is constantly uploading and downloading information all the time.

Typically, the upstream is quite slow, compared to the downstream.

 

Is was looking for a free program to do it all but there is not one I can find... for downloads this one is great...http://www.rejetto.com/sw/

For up & down setup a FTP... http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

 

out of all the shit ive tried that one works the best (filezilla) so tommorow i find out if it work through the internet (most sure it will) thanks foogoo
