I wanna share a directory of mine on the internet. I want it to be able to come up in a browser. If thats a webserver than yes.

Try Abyss: http://www.aprelium.com/

It's a free web server; you'll be able to host the files. Do you know what needs to be done?

Checkout NetworkActiv Webserver. It precisely does what you want to do. I use it almost daily to transfer files between work and home. And very easy to use. Just select which directory to use and click on Start. Also uses very little resources. :rule:

Main features:

Serve web-pages and files.

Client can view the content of folders.

Restrict client access by filtering IP addresses.

Restrict client access by requiring a password (uses digest authentication to help protect your password).

Run the program without installing (good for those times while using a friend's or co-worker's computer).

Can be configured to hide in the system tray (stays out of the way).

Can be configured to log requests to a text file (see who accessed the server and when).

and best of all its FREEWARE.

Web (HTTP) Server: Apache: http://apache.org. Best Web server on out there. period.

FTP Server: If you're using *nix, I can help you with a bunch. I like proftpd (http://www.proftpd.org/) and VSftpd (http://vsftpd.beasts.org/).

You probably want Windows, but as you know, I don't really run servers on it.
