Kamrul, I faced the same problem and I took the easy way out.  I talked
to the owner of a Unix machine on campus and persuaded him to set up
an area for anonymous FTP specifically for my class.  I then put a few
files in there and presto!

This has the advantage of having _much_ faster data transfer than out
on the Big Net, of not creating "unnecessary" traffic, and of my knowing
exactly what was there.  I was able to put in just those files I wanted:
some text files, some games, Vern Buerg's LIST program, PKUNZIP, and
other relevant tools.  When the class is over, I can delete all the
local stuff, nuke the FTP directories, and all is as before.
