How to set up remote access?

[kez]

Hi, i'm starting a project with a friend and he lives far away (different continent). I want to make my computer into a webhost so that he can type in my IP and see the website we're working on. I also need a way to remotely edit my mysql and ftp since I travel a lot.

Please help!

You need to open port 80 for the Web Server and port 21 for the FTP.
