A brief pointer:

There are a few solutions you may want to consider (other than
PCAnywhere or similar products).  One is a VNC with file transfer
capability - Ultr@VNC does this (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ ),
and other VNC server/clients may also do it by now.

You may also consider the WebDAV feature (websearch for an
introduction and use) and see http://www.webdav.org/ for the resources
- the software listing is at http://www.webdav.org/projects/

You can also try to map the NETBOIS-Ports through your router. These
are 137, 138, 139 as well as 445. After that you can Map your drive
over Explorer Menü Tools>Map Network Drive with the public IP of your
router. (Ex. \\213.1.232.122\c$)
For me this worx ok, but SECURITY-RISKY ouououo!!!
