idea. gettin on the comp during class, finding somin i wanna download. i noticed u can set up an ftp address so u can upload it to there. so can i set up an ftp address or some folder on my comp and upload it straight home? know wat im tryin to say?

You could if your school has FTP upload, which I seriously doubt. No school would be that stupid. If you could enable upload on port 21 I suppose you could do it. It's a long shot and a sketchy idea.

If i understand you:

you want to download a file while at school. You then want to send that file to your home computer via ftp.

For this, all you need to do is setup an FTP server at home running on a port that is not blocked (outgoing) by your school network.

Ok, duh. I understand now.

What you want to do is initiate a file transfer from a remote machine to your machine at home, while you are at school.

Well, you can install some remote control program at home that has a client that can fit on something like a diskette and use that to initiate the download while "using" your PC through remote control. This is inherent to security risks.

Other than that, you could run a webserve on your computer that were you paste in the URL to a file on a form, that the webserver begins a new wget or such type procedure on your machine (keep in mind this would involve scripting).

Pretty much any form of sending a command (to your computer) to download a certain file denoted by the URL sent with the command would be effective.

buttcheecks, you entertain me greatly.

i'll see if the ftp thing is workin on the comps, i noticed u can add an ftp address when u save anything, havent tried it yet tho....
