Hi, many times, we share files across different platforms (unix, windows, mac) and accross the net. no probs; w just ruby, you can publish your folder in a few seconds. try it like this, 1 go to the folder you want to publish 2 run the ff ruby script: #-----start---- require ‘webrick’ port=rand(2000)+60000; server=WEBrick::HTTPServer.new( :Port =\> port, :DocumentRoot =\> Dir::pwd, :BindAddress =\> ‘0.0.0.0’, :Logger =\> WEBrick::Log.new(nil,nil) ) trap “INT” do server.shutdown end server.start #-----end---- this will publish your current folders/file(Dir::pwd) at a random port (60000-62000). Press ctrl-c to stop your mini web server. To access your file/folder, just use any browser or wget… happy rubying, -botp
