You need to configure a firewall rule to allow port 80(default http port) and port 23(default ftp) connections to the IP address of your web server. As long as you dont allow anonymous access FTP should be fine.

Who was getting external access to your LAN? Any home router provides NAT, which keeps all local LAN devices hidden from external users.
