All you need is some computer to save all the files onto . . . What's so hard about that? But if you want it to be secure and able to access it from home . . . Get Debian Linux . . . http://www.debian.org install that onto the computer and set it to be a webserver during install. Configure Apache and set up a Samba server on it. Add it to my network places or whatever for when you at work, just go there, drag and drop the files, copy past, whatever. If you want to access it from home you will need to configure apache and I would reccomend getting a free domain for it unless you have a static IP. http://www.no-ip.com that will give you a free domain for it, and automatically update the IP of the server for the domain if it is not static. http://www.apache.org Don't ask me about all the configurations and stuff, my dad set up the webserver for me, all I do is use it and manage it, I know a few simple things in case soemthing goes wrong, that abotu it. Ohh yeah, you'll want to install Gnome and VNC server, then you can VNC into the server from your home computer which is kinda cool because you can see it's desktop and play games like tetris and asteroids from anywhere in the world. . . To start VNC server once it is installed simply type VNCServer, to start No-Ip type noip2. You should get no reply after you do both of those, if it says something than usually soemthing is wrong, or it may say soemthign like New 'X' desktop is deb1:2
Starting applications specified in /etc/X11/Xsession
Log file is /root/.vnc/deb1:2.log
which is ok for VNC. . .
It does take a while to install and you have to baby sit it the entire time pretty much, when it gets the packages though, then you can leave for about 1/2 an hour. . .
