That Foldershare program looks sweet. Hopefully, my friend will get it working on his machine.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Jon,
the only thing you need to know, is you need to go to Foldershare Satellite (in your toolbar), More, Settings, Transfers
Uncheck "allow web transfers from this computer"
Otherwise, I think it is possible for someone with access to your folder will be able to access any file on your computer. Which...I don't think you want.

My office uses Whalemail, which is good, but not free.

Coding and Sleeping
Well, I've moved my main computer at home to Linux finally settling on SUSE. My secondary computer is still Windows for recording TV, some games I don't play very often, and for handling CorelDraw projects until I've found a good replacement or perhaps get WINE to run CorelDraw.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
If I have a non-editable PDF, what are my options for typing stuff over it while on my computer (as opposed to printing it out and using a typewriter)?
I suppose I could open it in photoshop and use the text tool, but that seems unnecessarily complicated. Any (new) suggestions?
