Don't sell the monkey web server that comes with DSL short. Give it a try before you go with apache.
You can use BetaFTP to do some file sharing but you may want to look into adding Samba from myDSL. Samba is very good for sharing files with Windows boxes.
While you're at it make it an mp3 server with the EDNA module from myDSL. With a little tinkering you could modify the EDNA music server script to also be a document server (.txt, .doc, .pdf type files).
I've used similar equipment and it worked. It's all a matter of how fast is fast enough. For home use it should be fine.
Search the forums and you'll find lots of current examples. A while back I wrote up some blogs on how to install EDNA and Samba (on older versions of DSL). If you can't find anything by searching the forum take a look at my posts in the Blog/Talk section.
Good luck... Let us know how it turns out.

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
