You'll need to install a web server and ftp server for a start.  Likely apache and ftpd - most distros will have them in the install docs.  What are you using now?

For sharing internet connection you'll need a proxy (like squid (i think)) or iptables.  Squid will share http only over set ports, while iptables can be used for every port.  (masquerading.)

So in summary:
stuff="apache,ftpd,squid,iptables"
for item in stuff do
  install $item
  man $item
  google $item
done

Ah red hat...  I don't read sigs.  You should just be able to install apache and ftpd off the cds and have them set up automatically.  Masquerading may be a little more tricky but I haven't seen many of red hats "wizards" lately, so they're may be one for that too.
