Creating a Web/File Server

Some people have a second hard drive to store backup data. Some create servers to host it online. If you’re new, you can find some help at PCMech on creating a web/file server.

“Have you ever wanted to be able to access your files from almost any computer in the world? Ever had a big file that you needed to transfer that was either too big for a floppy or too small to waste an entire CD on? One solution is to have a dedicated web/file server that costs thousands. If you do not have thousands to spend, what options do you have left? This tutorial will show you how to integrate a web server into your current system for free. By the time you are finished reading this tutorial, you should be able to successfully serve files to any computer actively connected to the internet.”
