You should be able to connect to the host computer easily and access all the harddisk, usb-sticks and network drives remotely, without needing to use port forwarding on the router (so no FTP). I do have full control on the server.

Windows is both, the server and the cliënt OS. – user101579 Oct 16 '11 at 10:59

TeamViewer is probably the simplest platform in your case.

It includes a VPN feature that is perfect for what you need.

I personally use LogMeIn which is a free remote access software. All you do is create a account, download the logmein client onto the specified server; then you'll be able to access that server (with full control) from anywhere by just logging into the control panel of the website.

Hope this helps.

Left us know if you tried either LogMeIn or TeamViewer. @user101579 – Joe Oct 17 '11 at 15:58
