But How About...
...accessing my home PC's data?
(And getting my documents and media files?)

You"re almost there
What you need:
- At least one system that you can
reach from afar.
- "OpenSSH-Server" running on
the destination system.

Accessing the Home PC...
...through a tunnel.
Opening the tunnel:
ssh -L 3000:home-pc.fritz.box:22 my-server.pagekite.me
And then using it in another shell:
ssh localhost:3000""Secure Shell Tunneling""
ssh ↩
-L ↩ <-- Start secure shell tunneling.
3000: ↩ <-- Port on localhost to use.
home-pc.fritz.box ↩ <-- Destination system as seen trough the tunnel.
:22 ↩ <-- Port on the destination to reach.
↩
my-server.pagekite.me <-- Gateway.
ssh localhost:3000 <-- Our local Port 3000 now forwards our
SSH-request to our tunnel system which
then forwards it to port 22 of our
destination system.But What If...
...I want to administrate my router
(which offers a web front-end)?

Same technique!
