Default My Documents and Web Folders



Hi, is there a way of setting your My Documents folder as a Web Folder, so i
can access over the internet using web folders?

Or is there any sofware available prefably free that can do this?

Kind Regards

Carl

Apache will work fine on Windows. What's a Web Folder?

warFTP is a good piece of software. It would give you an FTP server,
which should do the job. war will run as a service (ie no user needs to
be logged on) in NT/2K/XP, however the computer will need to be on, and
connected to the internet.
Unless you are with an ISP (and if you really use NTL then you probably
aren't) that gives you a static IP, you will want/need to use a dynamic
DNS to be able to "find" your computer.
BTW, if you go for warFTP, version 1.7 is the easiest to use, its
available from http://www.jgaa.com

Download an FTP server - http://www.guildftpd.com seems pretty solid. Set up
a username and password and tell it to share your My Documents.

Password protected so it's secure and when you want it over the web you type
ftp://81.99.34.169

HTH :-)
