There are two services like that that I know of, perhaps you've heard
of Go to my PC? I'm pretty sure that works with Macs, also. I use Log
me in to connect to my iMac occasionally, and you can set up a free
account (with limited abilities) or a full paid account, where you can
FTP directly to your computer, and the screen sharing quality is
better. I hope this helps and is what you're looking for.
