If you have an old computer (more than 1Ghz processor speed) and Windows2000 or higher installed on it, you can turn it into a file server very easily.
First thing you have to do is to download FileZilla Server (for windows only) and install it.
Link: Here
When the installation is complete a message will popup about in what server you want to connect, leave 127.0.0.1 but set an administrator password.
The next thing you have to do no matter what is to create Groups and select permissions for the desired shared folder, and then users. Note: for security reasons never let a user without a password.
Once you did these steps, don't hurry up to test if you can connect to your server, you won't.
In order to connect to your server and start file transfering you have to setup your firewall.
If your server machine uses Windows2000, ignore this step (you may have to setup your installed firewall)
If you're using Windows XP or higher you have to go to the control panel > Windows Firewall > Change Settings > Exceptions tab > Add Program > Browse > Then go to C:\Program Files\FileZilla (default install destination) > and select FileZilla server.exeand then ok
Note: You may see "File Zilla Administrator Interface" in your firewall's menu, just ignore it, it doesn't matters.
Now you can connect with 2 ways to your File Server.
1) From the internet:
just type in your browser ftp://server'sIPaddress (e.g) "ftp://213.213.213.212"
Note: you'll be limited to your internet download/upload speed, it's only usefull when you're not connected to the network that server is.
Note2: if you dont have a static IP address then it's not gonna work, but there's an easy way to find server's IP even if you got a dynamic IP from anywhere. Install TeamViewer or any other remote assistance software, once you connect you can login to your router to view the web IP address or go to a search engine and search "whatsmyip" once you have it, you're ready to connect. Ofcourse you must have a preshared password and not the random passwords most remote assistance tools gives.
2) From the network:
just type in your browser ftp://Server'sNetworkIP (e.g) "ftp://192.168.xx.xx" to see what your server IP in the network is: Start > Run > type cmd > ipconfig
Note: it's much more better if your router gives a specific IP address to the server. In my case it was "Add IP reservation for a device" and then you type the desired network IP (e.g) "192.168.0.111" (something easy to remember)
