[X-Newbies] FTP advice

[Carter Tomassi]

I usually use R Browser and like it a lot. However, a client and I  
are transferring massive amounts of material and their ISP's ftp  
service is dog slow. Literally, 56K/sec. My ISP is 10 times faster  
with downloads but they are not able to release to me the amount of  
disk space I would need on short notice. In either case, the upload  
speeds are still in the 60K range. We are connected to a fast  
broadband service.

How easy would it be to set up my G5 as a temporary ftp server. I am  
not an IT type of guy by any stretch of the imagination. And I have a  
Linksys switch to configure, too.

Although OSX (10.4.1) will allow this, is it something only an IT  
wizard should attempt?

Thanks,
Carter
