Here is another option. One that I have working.
On the linux firewall for the Pace home network set up
users to login with ssh with a public key only (disable the rlogin, rsh
rcp, telnet, ftp, finger). On the firewall open only the one port used
for ssh ( default 22, maybe 222 or 2222). On the local linux box
use the command "ssh -p 222 firewallbox", then mount exported
directories. On the Win box use WinSCP after generating the
keys with putty. Find it at...
