Are your users going to be downloading from an intranet? If so, I think you can do it as if you were setting up a download page on the internet (or maybe you want a mock FTP?). If not, would it be too simple to just copy and paste (or have a script do it) from a public folder on your computer?

Just run a webserver on the remote computer where the files are and
use your browser to grab the files. You can also do uploading with
CGI and a script. Apache would be the best bet. You could also just
set up an FTP daemon on the remote computer and do something similar.

There are a lot of ways to successfully share files/folders across a
network, but the best way in your case might depend on what you mean
by "i am connected witha LAN and this LAN is further connected to
another LAN and so on .."

Are these two LAN's (are there just two LAN's involved here?) directly
connected to each other, essentially creating a single LAN, or are one
or more routers involved? Is the Internet involved? Are you trying to
share a folder on your PC, or are you trying to set up an FTP server,
or what? Describe your architecture so that the best method can rise
to the top.

All LANs (not just 2 LANs...but more than that) are not a part of single LAN and also more than one routers are involved.
As far as file sharing is concerned there is no internet involved but some LAN having there own internet connections.
I am trying to setup FTP server.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
About my network??
Its Cable net connection and every area has one of its own network and some how these networks are connected with each other.
What i know, in my area the cable net provider has setup a LAN network(Delta-D, consists of 25 computers) and i am part of it. This Network doesn't have internet connection of its own but it is shared with a another network(DELTANET, i call it mother network). It also has Delta A, B and C.
There are 3 other network(Fastmedia, Bluelines, Citynet etc) which i know are connected (don't know how)with this network as i can access their FTP and can also chat with users via Vypress Chat(even when internet is not working).

If you can't properly set up the routers to prevent external access to
allow internal file sharing, then the best bet is to use internal
webservers (Apache would be a good choice) on the machines that will
be doing the sharing.

FTP daemons would also work and you should still be able to use your
friendly browser to do the work of downloading files if things are
set up right - not sure about uploading though, you may need to go
with webserver CGI if you go from a browser client.

SNIP


Ok, FTP servers are pretty straightforward. Install the server
software, tell it which port to listen on, (the default is 21 but you
may have reasons to change that, especially if you don't want everyone
stumbling across it on the first day), then set up one or more user
accounts and specify their respective directories. You'll be able to
access your FTP server by it's LAN and WAN IP, while others will be
able to access it by its WAN IP only, unless you do something like
dyndns that maps a host name to your dynamic IP, in which case others
will be able to access it by its host name.

Here's a possible link, called "Beginners Guides: Setting up an FTP
Server in WinXP". Regardless of your OS, there are guides available;
just Google for them.

I only have experience with Serv-U, but WS_FTP Server is also popular,
as well as a large handful of free options.

If you have specific questions, fire away and someone will likely come
along to help. :-)
