Hosting an FTP and Web Server on a LAN?

[Paft]

1.) Is this even possible to do,

2.) Does it involve something with VPN if #1 is true,

3.) Can you do anything else -besides- VPN if #2 is true,

4.) And are there any good links to information about this?

Yes, I already tried Google as well.

Are you asking about a local ftp/http server on your LAN or are you asking about running these behind a router - offering public services on the internet or restricteing access to certain remote users?

Please clarify.

do you have a LAN or a WAN IP?

are you behind a router? (which one?)

if you are behind a router you need to forward, or redirect, your port 21 to your ip address
