[X Servers] remote login to an Xserver

[Chris W.]

Id like to put in my 2cents.

The reason you cant access your shared files is most likely a firewall 
on either end.

Are you unable to access AFP shares? I would assume this.

You may want to look into VPN, FTP, or SCP. All are options on your 
xserver.

I would also voice in that ARD would allow you to control and send 
files (unfortunately, only allowing you to send to the controlled 
machine).

I personally use ARD and FTP and SSH to remote admin my xserver. This 
gives me the greatest flexibility to avoid firewalls (ARD can be 
blocked by some), fully admin (see command_line.pdf from apple.com), 
and retrieve from everywhere. I know a lot of people would argue 
against FTP for its insecurity, but one has to face the fact that every 
computer everywhere has an ftp client.
