thank you for the quick response.

I apologize for the poorly framed question but you were able to
decipher the post.

Yes, I am 'on a LAN' and behind a firewall.
The disk quota of my mail server account is small (<20MB).

What I would like to do is the following.

1. The client outside views the page using a browser.(say
http://mail.server/~vogon/filesystem)
2. On this page she can view the listing of my ftp server (or WebDAV)
which runs on my local machine
3. When she clicks to download a file, I need to transfer that file
first onto the mail-server and then transfer it to her machine.
4. In order to make it appear as if downloads begin immediately, I
wish to use a simple buffer in between to read (from the ftp server)
and write (to the client)

The solution you suggested of port forwarding. I am not sure if it can
be done with such a buffer. Can I?
