hello all
running duel booting xp linux box
abyss webserver
currently using windows as eth0 card fried (is this common been going for 4 years?) and using temp usb ethernet card to connect to outside world and linux has not picked it up.

what i really have issues with is this:
i have a second pc which can connect to my webserver. i do most of my work on this second pc. so if i have done some work which needs to be uploaded to the webserver i typically memory stickit or email to webserver then save in appropriate directory

other than using ftp is there another way?

forexample is it save to set up a shared folder in my htdocs? (under windows) provided i make it shared$ ???

but i thought this method might be insecure?
any ideas cheers
