Re: A way to access local filesystem remotely?
Well if you use WinSCP now your half way home. You would need to install a SSH server on the laptop at home then open/forward TCP Port 22 (or whatever port the SSH server is listening on) through any firewall the laptop is behind. Note you should use a static LAN IP for the home laptop, make sure its always powered on then call using the public IP of the firewall.
I recommend, and have used, copSSH as a SSH server package. Its based on OpenSSH, OpenSSL and cygwin and is updated as those are updated.

Another option is either the built-in XP PPTP VPN server or OpenVPN. Here is how I have the PPTP VPN server configured on my Vista RC2 machine. Its the same process on an XP box. Of course this is based on my home LANs addressing scheme...
