No problem at all while on the private wire between the two computers. But then you forget that you had your most important files available by Apache, reconnect to a different network, and your files are left available for anyone to pull from your now public Apache server. No problem while on the private wire. May be a problem if you leave them available when connected to a public network. But only if the files are files that you care about keeping private. If they are Debian ISO images then of course those are already public and so no problem at all to keep them public. Bob
