[QUOTE="louishen, post: 652241, member: 40142"] You all have macs - then it is easy. Any mac can become an FTP server with just a few clicks [url]http://lifehacker.com/software/mac-os-x-leopard/leopard-simplifies-networking-317033.php[/url] [B]one note of caution: [/B] turning on FTP will allow you to share your entire User folder, and typically you will have to give your user account name and password to your friends - which I wouldn't advise as the login is not encrypted and could compromise the security of your mac. But help is at hand. [url]http://jeanmatthieu.free.fr/pureftpd/[/url] PureFTPd lets you set up any number of FTP accounts, with their own login and password, eg. Account: friends > Password: ********** You can give this account access to only one folder on your mac, making FTP more secure and protecting your own username and password [/QUOTE]
