I want to be able to access some files from my home PC when I am at college, can someone help?

you'll need 1) an ftp server like proftpd or vsftpd and 2) port forwarding on your router, check www.portforward.com

I have just checked that website, thank you, I found the router and followed the instructions and all seems fine, I have proftp but could ge tthe other one if you wanted me to.. now what do I do lol?

well now you read the coinfiguration docs for the ftp server...

I don't even know where the documents are, I installed via yum and so what do I do, use find proftp in terminal and just work out which are the docs? - Noob

OK that doesn't really help, so I'll try to work something out myself.

I found out that this guide helps http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...P_Server_Setup

Except the users and groups I did myself in the Groups and users section in Administration menu.
