Re: What is possible with static ip?

I discovered my isp has assigned me a static ip.

Does this mean I can make files available over the internet, if I want to
leave a box running 24/7?

Anyone can access whatever local system of yours (could be a router) that has
the public ip. So you can provide services like ssh, http (web), etc to others
or to yourself when you are away.
