FTP servers for years were used for such. It appears that folk are forgetting the simple old things.

Hi there!
I'm an amateur programmer in Brazil, and I have an idea for a small project to help out a local school here.
I want to create a web application, hosted on the school's website, where teachers can log in and upload texts in PDF format, and students can log in and download these texts onto their computer.
Do you have any advice on how to design the architecture of such a program? I have basic knowledge of HTML/CSS, SQL, Excel, and general programming concepts, but I am very inexperienced. I am very willing to learn and adapt new languages, though.
Thanks so much for the help and advice in advance! I really appreciate it.
John
