1. Choose an FTP server software and install it on your computer. Some popular options include FileZilla Server, Core FTP Server and Cerberus FTP Server.
2. Configure the FTP server software to allow anonymous access and public file downloads.
3. Set up a username and password for yourself, so that you can access the server remotely.
4. Create a folder on your computer where you will store the files that you want to make available publicly via FTP.
5. Share the folder with the FTP server software, so that it can access the files in it.
6. Open any necessary ports up on your router or firewall, so that the FTP server is accessible to the public.
7. Configure the FTP server software to use a specific port. This will make it easier to connect to the server remotely.
8. Test the server by connecting to it from another computer.
9. Once you are sure everything is working, you can publicize the FTP address and port so that other people can access the server.
