basic question

i'm new to ftp stuff, so bear with me if this is a stupid question.

i want to set up a download/upload connection on my pc and a friends so that we can share very large music files that we create. can this be done with smart ftp, and if so, how do i do it?

thanks in advance

No, SmartFTP is not for sharing files between pals. SmartFTP (and FTP clients in general) just connect to an existing FTP server to transfer files. Of course your friend could set up an FTP server with some third-party software, but that would be overkill. If you just want to swap files now an then, I would recommend an instant messenger with file transfer capabilities.

the problem with that is that a lot of messenger programs have file sharing transfer size limits and the files we're using can be up to 100Mb. but thanks, i'm sure there's one out there that doesn't have a limit.

Okay, then setting up a FTP server may yet be the best solution. You may want to try this server:
