Well I will be away at University this coming summer and I would like to be able to send my documents back instantly to my house and still be able to access them.

I plan on using this as my server, to store my documents.


Intel P4 3.2c
Gigabyte 8KNXP
1GB Kingston HyperX 3500
750GB Seagate HDD
WinXP Pro


This HDD

Also, know of a roomy case too? It's currently in a mid-tower and is kind of small. Must be cheap too (100 USD or less on Case)!


Now will I need to setup an FTP? If so can someone instruct me a little further where to go from here? If so, how do I access the FTP from school and do I need to use a dns service, etc?

My Connection at my House will be 384 Kbps (.384 Mbps) upload. Download is roughly 6000 Kbps (6 Mbps)


Thanks for your help guys!

There are a number of ways to send and share files between two PCs on different networks. But it depends on your OS and how technical you want to be.

If you're using Windows, easiest way to do it would be to use Hamachi (google it), create a new Hamachi network, make sure that both PCs are on the Hamachi network and there you go. Both PCs must have Hamachi installed and set to be part of the same network in order to share files between the two.
 
Firstly set up the pc to have static internal IP
then set up a dns using no-ip.com and keep the app running on the machine
setup a simple ftp program on it bulletproof should do the job then setup a port for it to use
finally forward the required port on your router to the PC
make sure your Firewall allows access on that port

fairly easy really
