Hey there. Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial or something
on how to setup XP as an FTP server so I can hit my files from the
internet? Thanks!

You would have to install a third-party FTP server. An easier
way would be to access your files under Remote Desktop
(if your OS is WinXP Professional) or to set up a Virtual
Private Network (VPN).

If you are behind a router, you can use Remote Desktop and Forward Port 3389
to the machines Static IP Address. VPN would be better since the data would
be encrypted but RDC works and works well.
And it's FREE!!!!

Alright, how about a VPN tutorial then? I've done it before awhile
ago, I just done remember how anymore. Also, I think there is some
encryption for remote desktop sessions if i'm not mistaken...

Check Help and Support for Remote Desktop. Do a google search for both.
