    Question Act as a Server?

    Hey, I have a second hard drive on my computer that I keep all of my mp3s and divx movies and stuff on. I pretty much share all of the files on this drive. I was wondering if there is a way that I can let this drive act as a server. Is there some server software I could get or something? I'm constantly connected to the internet with DSL so connectivity is not a problem. Or, could I somehow set up my own FTP site? Any info on this is greatly appreciated. Also, are there any security precautions I should take? I'm running Win XP Home Edition, so I have a firewall.

    Anything free?

    Can I get a client free somewhere? I won't be using my FTP site for profit so I can't really afford to pay for this kind of software.

    You can download programs like audio galaxy or other audio software. You don't know if it can be done in vb but I am sure it's possible.
