After 1.x all the releases are shareware. free to try but it expires about 30-35 days after you get it. If just going between 10.5 and/or 10.6 macs (no 10.4 or earlier), then all you need to do for encrypted keystrokes is this one step: Uncheck both these boxes under compter settings (and then reboot, which is important, as I've found sometimes the new settings don't take until after a reboot).

The green way to do this would be to use timed wakeup or WOL to wake your mac from sleep when you need to get to it: apple has not quite got this working they way it would be needed in new airport modules.

All these folks leaving their home mac running 24/7 with holes punched through the firewall are just asking to be hacked. At least lock your screen or logout folks! Opening up any file transfer other than ssh/scp/sftp with very strong passwords is also really exposing yourself, especially ftp and other clear-text password protocols. Just put the files up on a website. For 10.4 or earlier, the above steps do NOT ensure un-encrypted keystrokes. So for 10.4 and/or other non-macs you need to use ssh tunnel for encryption.

Only RealVNC has the file transfer capability as far as I know at this time. Although for the Mac, RealVNC does not currently seem to have a non-commercial version except for a Java version source code - if you know how to compile it on the Mac, you could use that one.
