Come on peeps, cant you help me?

What the problem?

1. Question too stupid to warrant an answer?
2. Question not clear enough?
3. Not enough info to answer?
4. No-one knows the answer?

I have an interim solution - which is to FTP the files to a web server
and back again - But its crazy - why cant I use file sharing on my
home network?

TIA for any help
Cheers.
