If you want to do that, you can make a global list holding all of the things in it.

Here's a little snippit of what I mean.

var/list/sharedfiles = list() // The global list which holds the files

mob/verb/add_file()
  var/file = input("Add a file to the world","File") as null|file
  if(isfile(file)) // just to check if it's a file
    sharedfiles += file
    src << "File \"[file]\" added!"
  else
    src << "Please select a real file."

mob/verb/download_file()
  if(sharedfiles.len) // checking if there is anything in the list, otherwise, it's worthless checking it
    var/file = input("Pick a file to download","File") in sharedfiles + "Cancel"
    if(file=="Cancel") return
    if(isfile(file)) // just to check if it is a real file
      src << ftp(file)
      src << "File \"[file]\" downloaded."
  else
    src << "There are no shared files added."


I hope I helped.
