More precisely, you're uploading shares which have a total size of N/K*S,
where N and K are the encoding parameters and S is your file size.

Jody gave you a link to the right doc.  But the short form is:

1.  Edit tahoe.cfg and set "enabled=true" in the helper section, then
restart.  Your node is now a helper.
2.  Get the helper FURL from the file .tahoe/private/helper.furl and publish
it to interested parties.
