There are two packages I would recommend, Netserver and WAMP5.
WAMP5 is nice because the GUI works really well and takes care of everything.
Netserver is highly configurable, and only runs what you need.

Ok I guest i'll give WAMP5 a go and see where it takes me from their. I am tiered of having to keep uploading files into my emails and fowerding to myself just so I could work on them at another house!

For some reason it seems not to work that well. Arn't their any good sources on using it? I looked at the F.A.Qs and the forum, but no help...

One thing that might get in your way is that common ISPs often disallow access to port 80 (the standard HTTP port). You may need change your apache configuration to run on a different port, and sepecify that port in the URL.

For example, if you changed the port to port 1455 you would use http://youipordomain:1 455/filename.zip

OK, so how do I go about changing the port in apache since it doesn't seem to work with option 2 already?

You will need to find your httpd.conf inf your WAMP directory. You can find more about it on at Apache.org.

Ok, so now it's telling me it "Forbids" me from going onto my server:
"You don't have permission to access / on this server."

I what else do I have to configure I am using Windows Vista.

This is likely caused by the directory being empty, and the indexes option being turned off in your httpd.conf file.
Either put an index.html file in the directory, or add "Options Indexes" to your web root in httpd.conf.
