Ask HN: How do I share a hard drive with my friend?
I have over the years ended up with a bunch of old windows systems and ended up with a network which is great.
I want to also enjoy these benefits outside of my home with a friend. Over the years I have collected dozens of physics toy tech demos and i'd like to share my drive. It's a mess of zips, dlls, and all sorts.
I don't want to use a service. I want him to go to like "Fifer82" and just see a windows explorer disk without all of the garbage of say torrents, file sharing services, individually sharing file-by-file via some attachment system.
As I ask this question, I don't know if I am stupid, since Dropbox, IRC or just whatever.... begs to suggest that there is no way to do what I want, but then the question is, why??
If I know someones network somewhere else outside my home, can't I just "let them at it" through standard windows mechanisms?
Thank you.
