I want to make an ftp folder on the web, but not sure how to do it. I have a laptop which will suffice for access, so I would rather use that then buy a host. I have no Unix or Linux systems either.
Also what are the safety risks for putting an ftp on the web? My laptop is on a home network with 2 other computers, so would they be at risk? If so, what precautions can be made?
