The easiest option I have found is ssh. With linux it is a no brainer. For windows there is a package called cygwin (www.cygwin.com). This package is a collection of linux/unix software for windows, including a fully functional ssh server. There are lots of nice gui sftp (one form of file transfer over ssh) clients for both *Nix and windows. Behaves similar to ftp but nothing is transmitted in the clear. Other options abound, some of my favorites are rdp (for windows to windows) and rsync.
The following is a port forwarding for commonly used transfer protocalls port service 80 web 20 ftp 21 ftp 22 ssh/scp/sftp 443 web-ssl 873 rsync 3389 rdp (remote desktop) Depending on the router, ftp may or may not work through a router. This is a really short answer to a moderately complicated issue.
