FTP access to computer

is there a way to set up a folder on my computer at home so that i can access it by FTP or something at school? im running windows 2000.

 

Set up an ftp server program.
I like Bulletproof FTP, there are lots of others, some free.

 

ok but would i could i just use a certain folder on my computer as the "server" to connect to?

 

Yes.

Why not take a look at the program reboot recommended. Good how-to with details on how it and other FTP server apps behave.

 

The FTP program you run, will have the options of setting up any folder, and ONLY that folder as a share on the FTP.
Some of them also allow multiple folder shares, each with their own password/access level.
You have to get the program and set it up and play with it, to see what options you want to use.
It's simpler than it sounds.
