The most common way would be to use port forwarding setup in your router
to
map a certain port to a web or ftp server internally.

The router has the only externally addressable IP, your PC's have
internal
IP addresses.

You really need to get the manual for your router out and have a look how
to
setup port forwarding. Then you need to set up a http or ftp server on
one
of your PC's.
