Old School? No way. I find this the best way to update my web site, also to transfer files to my brother, I am leaning more towards bit torrent for that now, but for web sites and simple transfer I always use FTP. Millions of people use it every day.
Here's a how-to http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm -

So if I understand you correctly what you wanna do is hold some files that friends or family can download?
There's a free Java based FTP server that you can download set passwords usernames and things like that, I can't remember the name of the program off the top of my head but take a look at download.com they have many free FTP servers that you can use. So what you would do is install this FTP server on your computer, create a folder/directory and set username and password's so that people can download or upload to your FTP server, using something like Smart FTP or cuteFTP software.
Hope this helps. -
By the way I said a Java-based FTP server, because this is one that I have used but I just can't remember the name.

oohhh i see now. that sounds like a great idea, but i dont know how to set that up. if u could please let me know how to set up a folder and set up the FTP to allow that folder to be accessed, and that people without an FTP software be able to dl the files. thanks for clarifying.
