You need a router.  Any low end router like at Radio Shack will work for you.  Just plug each computer into a LAN port on the router and the WAN port on the router to the ADSL bridge (modem).  You shouldn't even need any setup to share the internet connection.  To transfer files, you'll have to enable Windows File Sharing on each computer.  You'll have the best luck if you disable the firewall on each computer.  Don't worry, the router has a firewall.  Once you've enabled Windows file sharing, put the files you want to copy in the shared folder on the one computer and it will be accessible from each computer.

How to set up a home FTP server\nREAD MORE: FTP, Feature, Home server, Top \n \nby Matt Haughey\n\nIf you’ve been following the the Lifehacker Home Server Series of articles, you know how to do things like reach your home computer from anywhere in the world thanks to dynamic DNS services. Gina wrote about how to set up a personal home web server, but in my experience the killer home server feature that hasn’t been covered to date is how to set up a personal FTP server at home. \n\nA home FTP server is useful to anyone who wants to save and retrieve files on their computer from anywhere. Ever forget a Word document on your home desktop that you really need at work? Ever download a PDF that explains how to fix something at work and you realize too late you left it at home that morning? If you have a personal FTP server, and you can reach your computer from any place on earth, your files will never be captive on your hard drive at home again.\n\nMy home FTP server has saved me on many occasions. Sometimes it’s when I’m on a business trip and need an extra file left at home, most often it’s when I’m in the office and didn’t remember to bring files I worked on at home. By far my best FTP story is from a few years ago, when my wife was giving a reading at a wedding. A couple hours before the ceremony, we realized we left the poem sitting in the tray of my printer at home. We sped to my nearby office, I FTP’d to my desktop, got the Word doc downloaded and printed it there, which we took to the wedding with time to spare. My home FTP server saved the day. \n\nThe main advantage of a home FTP server over a web server is that you can save files to the server, whereas with a web server, you can only get files. The disadvantage of a home FTP server is that you need an FTP client to connect to it, whereas web servers can be accessed using a plain old web browser. However, many modern web browsers support the FTP protocol. Instead of prefacing the URL with http://, use ftp://. That said, most web browsers make crappy FTP clients. You should use a more fully-featured FTP client to conect to your server like SmartFTP or WS_FTP wherever possible. \n\nLet’s get started. \n\nWhat you’ll need: \n\nA Windows PC \nAn always-on broadband (DSL or cable) internet connection \nStep 1: Download and install Serv-U FTP \n\nServ-U FTP is a nice windows FTP server app that has a simple to use interface. It’s been around for years — I’ve used it since 1997 and it works flawlessly. The newest version adds more security through SSL support and the best part of all is that the personal version which allows for two FTP logins is completely free. \n\nNow, don’t get confused because they have several levels of pricing and several editions, but you can download a single package from here that includes all versions. Once installed, you will have a “corporate edition” that after thirty days will become the “personal edition.” If you follow along this tutorial, you won’t be using any special features so you shouldn’t see anything change once the application reverts to the free version. And by all means, if you decide to use this on a machine at work, make your employer pay for a license, but as long as this is on your home computer, free personal use is fine. \n\nStep 2: Complete setup and create a user login \n\nAfter the initial setup is done, Serv-U should start the administrator and ask you to create a new user account. Start off by first putting in the domain name you used to setup your dynamic DNS. The names I’m using in these figures are for demonstration purposes.\n\ngo to this link for more: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

Here is one way to do it... although I prefer to do the uploads on my site with the php FTP functions (shown below).\n\n$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';\n$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);\n\nif (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {\n   echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.&#92;n";\n\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nFTP--\n\n<?php\n// set up basic connection\n$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); \n\n// login with username and password\n$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); \n\n// check connection\nif ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { \n       echo "FTP connection has failed!";\n       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; \n       exit; \n   } else {\n       echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";\n   }\n\n// upload the file\n$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); \n\n// check upload status\nif (!$upload) { \n       echo "FTP upload has failed!";\n   } else {\n       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";\n   }\n\n// close the FTP stream \nftp_close($conn_id); \n?>\n} else {\n   echo "File upload failed!&#92;n";\n}

FTP uses port 21. Make sure you have port 21 access.

There are many ways, but I suggest you start off small by getting yourself a free website. I would suggest Angelfire. It would make a good start and you can learn a few things from their guides about html and downloading + that virtual FTP. When you get your skills up a bit you can move on to things like cpanel and real FTP servers.

FTP is File Transfer protocol, it will not compress your data. Anyway Most sites now use HTTP instead

1) no limit on file size.\n     most email providers will limit the size of your attachments\n     ftp has no limit - you can tranfer a terabyte if you're so inclined\n\n2) direct connection \n     you don't have to wait for the file to upload to your mail server,\n     transfer to the recipient's mail server,\n     and then be downloaded by the recipient.\n     you/the recipient  just connect directly to the \n     server and download.\n     when you transfer files via email, you're effectively\n     transferring the file two to three times\n\n3) security \n     ftp can be done over ssl, allowing for more secure transfers\n     of files.\n     if you're setting up your own ftp server, you can provide\n     logins to the people you want, and no one else.

Most download from p2p sites.  Often referred to simply as peer-to-peer, or abbreviated P2P, a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures, in which some computers are dedicated to serving the others. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler, but they usually do not offer the same performance under heavy loads. If I may, I recomend http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml When configuring this p2p software I highly recomend that you don't allow limewire to scan your computer for files to share. Also recomend that you disable any sharing features. To locate these features you will find them under the tool, options catagorie. There are people that maintain ftp sites as well.  Short for File Transfer Protocol, the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet. FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to a user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic mail across the Internet in that, like these technologies, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.\n\nFTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or to upload a file to a server (e.g., uploading a Web page file to a server). However, finding someone you can trust that has a ftp site is diffucult and not to mention risky. Both p2p and ftp are a risky venture theses days because of the copy right laws invoked last year. You may be able to locate individuals with ftp site in yahoo chat, msn chat etc. I don't recomend it but many do. Hope this gives you a better perspective. Good Luck!
