Dear Asim,

There is no analogous way of sharing content on the internet to the one you use to share content on local intranet (right-click a folder, select properties and so on).

In order to share content on the internet you must have a web site on the internet. On that web site you can then make content available either by FTP or HTTP. The best way is to ZIP your content and make a hyperlink available to that ZIP file. As soon as a user browsing your site cliks that hyperlink, he'll be presented with a download dialog. This is how you share content on the internet.

If you are not willing to pay for the internet space, you can also avail the services of companies who provide free internet hosting. The Yahoo's Geocities is a good place to start. The URL is: http://geocities.yahoo.com
