In order for people to access your map they need to have the exported map file.  Since you know how to use MediaFire, Put the exported files into a .zip folder, then upload it to Mediafire.   After that, give the people you want to have the map the Download link that mediafire gives you so they can download it.  After they download your map the need to extract the files into the "exports" folder, and that should do it.

Note: Make sure you put a Portal (under the MAP tab in mapmaker)in your map or they won't get it in.

When the path ends, keep going forward and make a new trail.

You can also make it a torrent file for those people that like torrents better.

I know this is kind of another question, but I think it's best to post it here, so: What files do you put in the folder, and where do you find them?

After you export your map files will appear in your Exports folder. So files like .fho (the object groups), .fhm (the map), .fhs (the sky) and .fhw (the weather).

After exporting your map look in the Exports folder if you know where that is.
