YES, you can. Though its not recommended. Actually its highly recommended you dont use it as a PC. But if you insist on doing it you can.

The problem is people have a tendency to mess up PC's or download viruses onto it. Or clutter it up with junk, start messing around with settings they dont understand or install a program which interferes with the servers day to day duties. So for this reason, most network admins, tend to set-up the server and get it all working and then god help anybody who so much as moves the mouse on it.

Yes, in fact a server IS a PC. Server just describes the fact that it is capable of being a file server or other network server for other networked computers.

How to use ftp client and server on the same PC?

Why would you want to do that? A file transfer usually takes place between two computers - one is operating as a client and the other as a server. Running the client and server portion on the same PC to transfer files is very inefficient. You can use the ftp client to communicate with the ftp service on the same server/pc the same way as you would across the network; there is no difference.

To play multiplayer on Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE) with someone on PC, you'll need to ensure that both players are using the same version of Minecraft. You can do this by setting up a server on the PC and having the PE player join it.

Can you make your computer a server?

Depends on what type of server. If you just mean for a file server for your home network, then yes. Very easily. But this is technically not a server. If you are looking to create a domain for a large network, use it as a DNS Server, Active Directory, or Web server, then chances are your home PC does not have the specifications required to do this.

How can you use your own PC as a server for your small dynamic site which uses ASP and also has a database to store orders from customers?

You can turn any PC into a server. A server is basically a software which you run on a PC. To answer your question, an ASP will run in an IIS (or PWS on older computers) web server from Microsoft. To link your ASP to a database there should be another application in the middle. You can write an application with Visual Basic which will link the two, that way you don`t expose your database to the world. A recommendation is not to use your own PC as a server because a server need to be running all the time, and you PC isn't normally made for running forever. If you want to check your ASP web site is OK before you upload it to the net, however, it will be fine to use your own pc, because you won't use it continually. To turn your PC in a web server you'll have to install a program (IIS [Internet Informational Services] for Windows, or Apache for Windows and UNIX/LINUX based OS) in your computer and running it to view you site by typing in the address bar : http://localhost/filename/pagename.asp or http://localhost/filename/pagename.aspx for ASP.NET pages.If you turn your computer into a Web Server, your hosted files aren't going to be viewable from the World Wide Web. You'll have to be on the network of the computer to view it.
