Hi.

I am not familiar with LAN. So, please execuse me if my question is so
simple or doesn't make sense.

In my office, there are 6 PC's, 1 MAC and 1 X-terminal. Every PC and
X-term are connected to mainframs through a broadband net with TCP/IP
On PC's I am using PC TCP/IP from FTP software Inc with Sytek LANNA
card. One MAC is connected APPLETALK and the APPLETALK is connected to
the broadband net,too. So,from each PC and MAC or X, I can access the
mainframs and can upload and download.
What I want is how I can exchange the files between PC's or with MAC and
use PC program with X-terminal. IMHO I need a software which makes PC as
a server. 
    1. What software can I use in my environment? 
    2. Is here any public FTPable one?
    3. How much will it cost?
    4. Any suggestion?
I don't mean only down&up load between PC's.
Yes. I have one 386 PC with 130M HD. I may use it as a server if it
need.

Thank you for your help.
