[X Servers] remote login to an Xserver

[Bruce Cheng]

You can open port 22 on your home router (assuming that's what you have 
and it has a built in firewall) and you can use scp (secure copy) to 
copy files.

You can also use Timbuktu (other ports need to be opened) to access 
your home machine and it also has a 'transmit' files option.

I am not sure if there are simpler ways to access files remotely.

ps* or setup a VPN connection. This is a bit more involve. ;)
