Hi Stan,
The simple answer to a complicated question is yes to everything except the need for an FTP Server. A basic web server will do what you want - FTP isn't needed for that, only if you want them to be able to upload or change files on the server. Set up correctly your web server would be just like any other site on the internet. How much security there is (access, logins, passwords, etc) would be entirely up to you.
Depending upon how YOU access the web server you may use FTP for that to upload/remove/change files, including those for the web server itself. FTP allows you to do this remotely, rather than be on the server box itself.
If you're planning on running this from your home connection, things can get a little complicated (mainly security & external access) so I suggest you do some research on it. Additionally, Red Hat 7 is ancient (2001?) & not to be confused with the current Red Hat ENTERPRISE Linux 7. There are a number of very good free distro's that would meet you're needs - CentOS or Ubuntu for example, but there are many more. Check them out & have a look for more up to date documentation.
There are plenty of guides on the web to set up your own Linux server so check some out. Just make sure they are current, there are so many old ones out there too.
Good luck.
Mark K.
