Wrexify is correct. All major operating systems supports Windows Networking so you can create a shared folder and every computer on your network can use it. Edit the permissions and you can either use a password to get write access to it or you can allow anyone to write to it without requiring a password. You can even create that shared folder on a Linux computer and it will be the same.
If you need to remote control your desktop than you should go ahead and use a VNC software package, but it you just want to access your home network remotely for shared files, printers, or private browsing; then use a VPN.
