ssh to my computer behind NAT

[Chris Kloiber]

Oh.  Well forgive me for suggesting a non-open source product, but look 
into Dropbox:

http://www.dropbox.com/

With this, you copy items into the Dropbox on your system, and it's 
almost instantly accessible both from any other machine you install 
Dropbox on, or from the https://www.dropbox.com website. Free (as in 
beer) for up to 2 Gigs space.

Not as good as getting into your system remotely, but oh well.
