The application I found that works well for me and has a very simple setup is called "Xerver". Its java based and so is OS independant. As long as you have Java installed it will run. It has a browser interface for setup and you can also setup FTP access. I just work on my files directly instead of messing with any sort of remote access - its just faster and simpler that way. There are alot of webserver tutorials on the net - just google "set up your own web server" and a number of hits come up. There used to be a really good one at dslwebserver.com but the domain is no longer active. Maybe you can locate a cached version of it.
