How do I setup my computer as an ftp server?

Get one of the FTP server programs (eg. Serv-U FTP), install it, do some minor configuration and you're done! Extremely easy to do...

(This is all assuming u are running Windows, with linux it's even easier)
 
Currently I'm running Windows XP Pro but I may decide to build a linux server in addition to that if i can get another box.

Can you guys please hook me up with some linkage to software or tutorials on doing all this in windows and linux? Or if you don't know any but know how, could you please take the time to explain this to me?
 
It's pretty easy. You'll need 3 things..

1. Sign up for a free dynamic ip (i.e. Gremlinhater.xxxx.org) etc.

2. Download Serv- U

3. Download Apache 2.0.40

Set the 2 programs up with the free dynamic ip as the host. Then in Serv U, make a user, configure the port that you want to use (if not 21), and enter a user/ password, how many users, etc and show it which folder you want to use as the FTP folder. I would suggest making 1 directory (you can call it FTP) and then 2 folders in it. 1 for downloads and 1 for uploads. That way you can set preferences for both of them that people can download only from download and upload only to upload folder, etc. 🙂
