    Could I just use FileZilla server to turn my laptop's whole hard drive into a local FTP server or is that dangerous

      @mrmattimation It's a horrible idea. People can upload files, copy your files or just flat out delete them

          @mrmattimation You'd probably be able to set a subdirectory up as a server if you wanted to, though. Depends on what you're using it for. If you just need a place to store files you might be better off plunking down $5/mo on a VPS or something.

              @mrmattimation Windows LAN shares can do that much more securely

        @redenchilada Set /windows/system32 as an open FTP share and see how long it takes to get compromised
