1) Purchase and install Windows Server 2003, and the Windows 2003 Web Server
(~$1200.00). If you use Windows XP you will be limited in number of
connections.
2) Purchase static IP from your ISP and assign it to your Web Server NIC.
3) Preferably, register a domain name and ensure the proper DNS entries are
in place to point it to the static IP of your server.
4) Write web pages that allow for downloading files from your machine.

That's it! Shouldn't take more than an hour or so...

IP and waiting for them to contact me back. Thanks again.
