Rather how do I go about combining FTP with HTTP? If I wanted to connect to the FTP server via FileZilla, I would normally type "FTP://ip" or just the IP, how do I get these FTP files combined with the http. This probably sounds really dumb but I'm so confused haha. Thanks

If you've got a web server up and can access it from outside your network (i.e. using data on your phone and getting the 'You have successfully installed Apache' page or w/e by going to http://{your ip}), all you need to do is put folders for maps/materials/sounds/models in the root web directory (wherever that is, the Apache documentation should say) and then set sv_downloadurl to "http://{your ip}". In this context, FTP is only for you to upload files to the server (and if the server's a computer in your house, it's not even necessary as you could just move them on a USB key or something).
All that said, I still have to recommend against running a fastDL from your home connection. Anyone connecting to your server can open the console and get your IP as files fetched via fastDL are printed to console with the full http:// address visible.
