Thanks for all the other options here!
I think I'm going to go with my own server Jay, simply because I don't think I'll be using it all the time. For a similar reason I'm going to go the VM route so I don't end up with spare hardware lying around if I decide I don't need the server (unlikely admittedly).
Now I just need to choose whether to go with apache+linux or WAMP+windows...
well, apache+linux is free.....

Apache/Linux IMHO - after all, if it's good enough for Hexus!

Thats a fairly big task though. It's one thing to start learning PHP/MySql, its another to learn how to admin a Linux box and do that on top.
Guess it just depends how much time you have.

CentOS is quite easy to use.

XAMPP is another pre-built webserver/php/sql package that works on pretty much any platform and I've used it pretty extensively for local testing in the past.

What is wrong with FTP? It's pretty much the de facto standard for moving files back and forth between server & clients. It can be encrypted with SSL & TSL too.
Everybody says FTP is a old standard and should die, but what would replace it?
AJAX+HTTPRequest, of course!
We use FreeBSDApache/Linux IMHO - after all, if it's good enough for Hexus!SCP would. It's a hell of a lot better.

SFTP is the best I think

SCP's quicker than SFTP because it doesn't wait for ACKs.

scp and sftp are the same thing. Just different client names.
Maybe you're thinking of ftps?

Not at all. They both just use ssh as a tunnel for file transfers.
The only difference between scp and sftp is how the client presents this service to the user.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol
They are different, because like I said, and as stated in the second wiki link there, SCP is faster

Different, in that SFTP utilises more shell commands to be more FTP like, yes. But other than that they're the same. They both use the same protocol to tunnel file transfers.
