Yeah, SFTP is nice option. Just make sure you create a normal user for using SFTP. I would not enable root access directly from outside home network.

Thank you

why not use SFTP so you don't need to worry about the FTP server in the first place?

    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

            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.
