You must ask for a fixed IP address or a fixed name for your host.
No-ip.com ( http://www.no-ip.com/ ) provides this : you go to this site, you register, you choose a name and a password, and then they provide you with a fixed name (choose empty_calore.mytftp.com for instance) and they will give you the way for the fixed name empty_calore.mytftp.com to be always reachable, even if your dinamic IP changes. For instance, on my ftp server, I always have the same fixed name, but when I ping it the IP address changes frequently.
Just try this for fun, it is harmless.
Of course, if nobody connects to your site, after some monthes no-ip people will warn you that you have useless resources, and they will ask you to pay if you still need that unused site name.
Hope this helped.

Well, I haven't had the best of luck...there's not really a good way to access my site, because I'm using dynamic IP, and NAT I believe..Am I stuck or is there something I can do?

I just thought of something...I do have two running darwin-x86 systems that already have httpd...how would i use that?

with such a name, it should be a httpd... serving only http.lighttpd
If you want to serve ftp, you will need to have a ftp server.
I know it's not a Linux, however, all the standard Unix systems (including probably freeBSD) have an embedded ftp server, just as Linux does.
So, first look if darwin doesn't happen to simply have an embedde auto-installed ftp server.

Good, good...I will hav to give this a try.. Also, I've wondered, what about if I want to serve FTP as well, would lighttpd also serve FTP, or is there something else I would want to use as well? Figure maybe I can use it like a portable/public access hard drive.

its got nothing to do with linux.
Its based on FreeBSD, but with a re-written Open Kernel used in MacOSX.
and without Aqua.
to the best of my knoledge anyway.

Oh, I see.Darwin is considered the 4th BSD.
So it will look familiar for Unix people as well as for Mac people. But it will not be purely linux, nor purely System V, it will look closer to a BSD system.

Darwin is considered the 4th BSD.
Darwin is basically MacOSX with X11 instead of Aqua. The open source components of the Macintosh.

Nice, I will give lighttpd a try.try Lighttpd http://www.lighttpd.net/
I was rather disappointed by httpdlite, but it's quite a different story.
By the way, what is Darwin ? Is it a kind of Unix ?
