A frighteningly insecure ftp protocol.. comes in a tftp rpm.

Set up your hosts allow/deny to prevent any but known IP addresses
(don't use names, use IPs) .  Man tcpd

Decide if you want the lab to be able to access the outside world
at all, if not then use an airgap firewall - no cables to the outside
world.

apache web server, there's an RPM for it in the std distribution.

It comes with some doco, and there are howtos on setting it up.

Some experimentation should get it going, you might want to grab
a suitable book from the local good computer bookshop, an O'Reilly
for preference.
