Yup.. you'd need to do some sort of VPNing with maybe PPP over SSH to do it, which is a complete overkill for what you need. However, if you want to look, take a peak at this pretty cool webpage about doing it - I've just done it myself to set up a temporary VPN and it works very well. http://unix.za.net/gateway/documentation/networking/vpn/fbsd.html As I said, this would be a total overkill just for transfering files... I'd use SCP or SFTP and restrict logins either by using public-key logins and restricting their access by putting extra options in the authorized_keys/authorized_keys2 files, or by using normal password logins and setting the users shells to /nonexistant.
