If you're moving files between your home and business, you might want to think a little about security responsibility. Vanilla ftp does not encrypt any of your authentication credentials or files you're transferring. If what is being transferred is proprietary, you could inadvertently allow a third party to compromise that information. I would highly recommend setting up an SSH connection between your home and business. You can pipe just about anything through SSH including file transfers, terminal windows, even VNC. Of course there is a small amount of overhead associated with data encryption, but it’s seldom very noticeable.
