info on ftp files from a webpage

I'm wanting to host a few files for our ham radio club for a project we are playing around with. Most of the ppl in the club do not have a clue on how to use an ftp program. I want to write a simple webpage with links to files on my server. Would i have to have anonymous access enable for the ftp server so that they can download the files or can i setup an user login an password an still let them just click on the links on the webpage. I need to keep this as simple as possible for the ones that do not know how to use ftp program must less what one is. thanksfor the info once again. I have a full time link to the net via dsl an my provider does not mind me serving up stuff, i know the owner so that helps :). jack
