Hi wilbasket23,
Yes it's possible, just use an FTP server program like FileZilla and give your friends the IP, login, and password. Make sure the files aren't too big however since it's only on a dial-up connection. |

Just to give you another software option

If you have a webhost for your site, check with your host to see if they offer anonymous FTP.

pstj: SmartFTP, while a good FTP client, isn't an FTP server.

Anonymous ftp means anyone can log on.
