How can I configure my router and/or network so that anyone can surf
the web on
my wifi but cannot access my shared files? I have often been the
beneficiary of other people's wifi and would like to share my internet
connection, but at the same time I don't want to compromise my private
files and overall security.

You need either a hotspot router or upgraded firmware that segregates
wireless clients from each other.
