are there any apps that can make my Pocket PC act as a file server on the network? whether it be HTTP, FTP, or general windows networking.

basically a "wireless" drive mode. it'd be handy if multiple ppl had to copy something from my PPC, or i wanted to work on a computer and wanted to copy over specific files (w/o using my ppc, cuase it'd be easier to do it on the pc).

does such a program exist?

UPDATE:

i think vxFTPserv will do the trick :) actually, there are a bunch. all expensive though, so i doubt i'll buy :(

With your 2495, you could (if you had a Bluetooth dongle or functionality on your PC) set up File Transfer - you could send files to and from your PC that way, without needing to buy extra software. I do this myself, when I don't have a lot of data to transfer at once - when I do THAT, I use SmartFTP Lite, which is one of the cheaper FTP server programs for PocketPC that I'm aware of.
