GuildFTP. It's a program that allows you to set up a FTP from your PC. you can setup usernames and passwords, folders available, reading and writing privliges, and all that.

You dont need a router unless you have a firewall active in which case you just open the port.

If you do have a router you just open its control panel through a browser windows e.g.

192.168.0.1
10.0.0.2

Or something similar, you can find this on a PC by opening command prompt:

Win95/98/ME: Start, Run, command.exe
Win2k/XP: Start, Run, cmd.exe

Then type: ipconfig/all

You will then see the gateway address, that is your routers address. When this is open find a menu called, port forwarding / virtual servers.

There you need to enter your local IP address (Also in the ipconfig/all section), select TCP port 21 (for ftp) and your done, save the settings and reboot the router.

There are a few good free FTP programs out there including the one King Killa mentioned. You of course on windows can use ISS for FTP.
