How to set up a http server running from you computer

(Either you can set up a basic server which means you stop at step... or if you want to make a server with free address you can continue after that step)

1. We are going to use a program called hfs i like the beta version (2) you will need to download this program.
Go to www.rejetto.com/

2. Make a folder where you wish to run it from for example C:/Program files/hfs or C:/Documents and settins/Username/My documents/Hfs

3. Move the downloaded zip file into that folder and extract it.

4. Run the program.

5. Click the button that says easy mode (this turns it into expert mode which basicly means you have all the options)

6. Where it says port change the port to 80 (this can clash with some programs like webcam on msn and maybe others im not sure) ((the port you choose doesnt really matter 80 is just easier))

Note: you will need to prt forword the ort you use if you are behinde a router


Now go back to hfs and you must enter your ip in the address bar(not your local address but your ip)

Keep the http:// in front of your ip.
This is essentially now your server. Make sure it is on and you can go and visit it at http://yourip:port/
To add files simply drag and drop them in. Then click virtual folder.

That was if you do not want a personal address you can make it personal like mine http://random****fromtimmy.no-ip.org very easily.
All you have to do is go to www.no-ip.com
Make a username
Log in
Click add on the left hand side
Make a hostname (mine is random****fromtimmy)
Click port 80 redirect
Enter your ip in the ip address field
And choose the port you wish to forward (this is either 80 or the other one that you chose)
Click add redirect.

Now you have a fully working hfs system.It runs of you bandwidth so if lots of people are downloading you will find your net goes slowly so remeber to set limits.
Note i did not rite this so i can help you with this i just copyied and pasted to see the original articul go hear
