Remote connection over internet? (aussie.zone)

I'm going to be away from home for a few weeks and would like to access my computer (LMDE) while I'm away. Remote desktop connection would be ideal, just file transfer would be acceptable.

Is a VPN necessary, or can port forwarding be good enough for a one time use?

What software/networking recommendations do you have?

Why? It sounds fine to me. OpenSSH is the standard for secure remote access. And port forwarding works great.
