I have no knowledge of either Ant or Tomcat other than a partner told me that both were necessary to download a file from his IP address.
This being said I have tried very hard to figure out how to use them to accomplish this. I seem to be able to start Tomcat up and shut it down (seemingly without ever using Ant), but the default port, 8080, causes a dns server error when I try to load http://localhost:8080/ . The documentation said this could be caused if I had something else running on that port. I don't know how to check if this is the case, nor see which ports I have available to reassign the default port to (which the documentation describes very well). Finally, if someday I get Tomcat running properly, I have no idea of how to connect to said IP address to download the file on my buddy's computer. It would seem to be the simplest of Tomcat tasks, but I can't find a description of how to do it on any of the web documentation. Could someone point me there? Thank you for your time, Reid
