Open local repository to others as a remote one

Is there any simple way,which is provided by maven itself, to open my local repo as a remote one for other users?(How cool it would be;) )

Or should I 开发者_StackOverflowinstall an ftp server or apache to do it?

This is not straightforward. What you are looking to do is to set up a mirror of the repositories to be used by other users. You will be better of setting up one of the repository managers to do this.
