http://localhost should work fineYou don't need ftp, because you're on the machineIf you want to access it from other computers on your network, you'll have to give it a name.In that case, other computers would access it with the name, and usually, ftp.thename will be the ftp address (assuming ftp is setup)

It would be very hard to get a specific subdomain set up for FTP (especially on a LAN, unless your DNS controller has the option to manually create records, and you know how to use it) - I would suggest just keeping it as the machine name (e.g. ftp://my_machine/).
