    i think he wants something that works now - ssh is out of question for the movement

    but you can set up ssl secured vpn and use the facilities provided by the win2k internal ipsec to achieve a simillar effect.

    maybe you should be looking for samba+openvpn combination or samba+freeswan combo

    freeswan http://freeswan.org
    openvpn http://openvpn.sf.net
    samba http://samba.org
