While I agree that it would be nice to have Remote Desktop host
functionality built-in to Vista Home Premium there are other free
alternatives for both remote desktop control and file access available.
Examples are UltraVNC for remote desktop control and either a VPN or Secure
Shell (SSH) SFTP client for remote file access. Note in the case of both a
VPN or SSH tunnel you can also run UltraVNC through the tunnel for added
security.

Personally I use a SSH tunnel to access my home LAN with a 4096-bit RSA
private/public key pair protected by a strong password for authentication.
In my case I use the Tunnelier SSH client which includes a GUI based SFTP
function.
