Re: [LI] web server

["Aditya Deshpande" <adityad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    If you are talking IP address assigned to your machine by your
ISP during login then I suppose you could have the other person
ftp your machine by specifying that IP address. But keep a few 
things in mind
1. ftpd has to be running on your machine.
2. You should create his user name or at least enable anonymous 
     access
