Here's my two cents worth. For this example I'll use ftp, but the idea should work for other options. Set your ftp server so it does not start when the system boots up. At the remote location log in via ssh. Then start the ftp server, transfer your files, stop the ftp server and log out. That way the ftp server is only available when you're using it.

    If you managed to setup DynDNS I would prefer configuring a ftp

        you don't need to know the ip address all hamachi clients call a
        central server then you can then do whatever you want.

        A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent
        you from
        rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze
        button.
