Ask your friend to request the following URL: http://your_ip_address:8080/ He might be lucky! To share documents, I suggest you create a new context (say we call it 'xxx') in the '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps' directory. Basically, create an empty folder named 'xxx' (whatever) within '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps'. Within 'xxx' create another folder named 'WEB-INF'. Go to '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF' and *copy* the 'web.xml' file into the '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/xxx/WEB-INF' directory you have just created. Place some documents in the 'xxx' folder, start Tomcat and have your friend point their browser to the 'xxx' application: http://your_ip_address:8080/xxx/ Good luck.
