Re: share a hard drive
That will depend on exactly how the network at the college is configured. If you have connectivity end to end to the person's machine, you can do it. FWIW, I would STRONGLY suggest you not simply stick the drive on the network and share it, you leave yourself wide open to problems. I'd use an FTP server on my machine to share files on the drive.
