If you install Apache, I recommend you try the tutorial:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/tutorials.html

There are some authentication modules which can help you out once you get it
installed.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html

Note that as soon as you install Apache and open a port up on your system,
you're going to be subject to all manner of attacks.  I've been up five days
with a raw IP address and no visibility and I get portscanned with random
crack scripts daily.
