Also changing port to non default if you decide to use SFTP would save some script kiddies from filling your authentication logs.

Here's my two cents worth.  For this example I'll use ftp, but the idea should work for other options.  Set your ftp server so it does not start when the system boots up.  At the remote location log in via ssh.  Then start the ftp server, transfer your files, stop the ftp server and log out.  That way the ftp server is only available when you're using it.

If you managed to setup DynDNS I would prefer configuring a ftp (vsftpd may be ) unless your isp blocks the ftp port, if not team viewer should be fine.

you don't need to know the ip address all hamachi clients call a
central server then you can then do whatever you want.

rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
