I was wondering if anyone here can explain to me how this can be done please

Me and my friends are graphic artists and we want to have our our private network where we can all download and upload our files to.

The other day we went out and purchased an external hard drive with 500GB of space and we are wanting to use that as a ftp server.

We are wanting to be able to use FlashFXP to turn the drive into a server where we can all share our files on it.

I agreed to have the drive linked up to my home pc (xp home edition with sp2) and be the person to maintain it but I am very unsure when it comes to using ftp and how to set it up.

I would want it to be secure so nobody could ruin it for us.

I have been reading tutorials on the web and I think it would be my own ip address I would have to use to id the drive and for my friends to enter into flashfxp in order to connect to it...I could be wrong though lol

Can anyone spend a bit of time and explain to me in the easiet way how I can do this because I promised my friends I would have it sorted before next week.
