I see, that's kind of what I expected. Since the data I serve is not especially sensitive (i.e. it's not the only copy and it doesn't contain valuable secrets) I don't really care that much, as long as my server doesn't get trashed I'm fine. Having said that, I'd be interested to know how easy it is, particularly on the client side, to implement FTP over SSH. I assume there's no "my mum can do it" gui client available for this sort of thing?
You'd be better off asking the list rather than me directly; If you're using a Linux firewall, you shouldn't have too much difficulty being able to set up a VPN connection. However, I'm pretty sure that setting up a linux-linux ssh tunnel is pretty easy - should be a 1-liner, but like I said - ask the group, as I don't really know how to do it myself (never tried).
Sorry, my mistake. Still can't find the "reply-to-list" button in Thunderbird :-)
Thanks for all the replies! I've got vsftpd running and I can connect to it. However, to connect to it from work I have to be running Secure FTP (SFTP) does vsftpd do this? If so how do I set it up to run that way? thanks, jay

If you can connect to your host from work with ssh, it may be as simple as sftp your-remote-host I have vsftp setup, as well as sshd on my home system. When I use sftp to my home system, I am connected to my home directory and I can 'cd' to other directories outside of /home as well. Jim

Awesome using sftp works! :) However, I'm trying to get Dreamweaver to connect. Strange thing is that when I try to connect using Dreamweaver at work to my home machine using the secure ftp option it doesn't work. Any idea why sftp command will work but trying to connect through Dreamweaver won't? thanks. jay
