Hello!!!!
I'm in doubt with a thing that i want to make. Here is the situation:
My syster has a PC running XP with NTFS (only), and me, with archlinux (ext3) ;-). Both PC are connected to a router via ethernet and this, to the cablemodem. I have configurated the router, so both PC have static IP (192...).
My syster need to read (only read, not write) a file (plain text) that i create or modify frecuently.
How is the easiest and secure way to do it? i use KDE
I don't know too much about networking, so, things as http, ftp servers , samba, scare me :-( but, perhaps the easiest way is with a http server, and allowing the acces only to the IP of my syster.
At this point, and with the previous notes, what http server woulb be nice?? (easy no learn, configure...) No, i think apache is not for me ;-)
What do you think?
Thanks!!

I guess your router has an firewall? Do your computer have a firewall?
A httpd should be the easiest solution. thttpd is a nice, secure and rather easy webserver. It's in extra with a sane configfile.
Just put the textfile into /usr/www/data/. Start with "/etc/rc.d/thttpd start" and put it in your rc.conf's daemon array to have it start at every boot.
Your sister should be able to access it in her browser with http://<youriip>.

Thanks! I'll try it, and, at least, i'll learn a very very bit about http servers
