web sharing - how??

[davidsimons]

Hi, I'm a new member so apologies if my query has already been covered.

I am *trying* to set up web sharing between mine and a friends Mac. I have set up the web sharing and file sharing c/pans and allocated a folder to dump stuff for my friend to access.

The problem is that when I give my friend the *dynamically set* URL the web sharing c/pan gives me, he can't log on. Why? Is it the fact that the URL is dynamically set or something else?

Any help appreciated.

Could be any number of things, quite possibly a firewall.

Hmm, could be at the ISP end - Freeserve: say no more! Any ideas how to get around it?

You could try a telnet connection if all you are trying to do is share files. Check the link below.
