I;m guessing to limit the size of your user areas, monitor what you put on and make sure you don't put videos, music files etc which take up a lot of space. But like i say am not *00% sure why they've done it. The machines are Win XP and are fully capable. Please could you explain the ftp server. I'm aware that its a way of sharing files over the internet. But would i have to install the software on the college computers?(which i wouldn't be able to).I think you just have to install it on your personal computer then basically you broadcast it to the web.Correct? Could you recommend any free ones?(what do you think of SmartFTP CLient). Can you do it through command prompt (share files via ftp). Please could you explain using an example of how to use ftp through the command prompt.
Cheers for your help
