Behind a firewall want to setup a server

[noff]

I am behind a firewall router (simple Linksys) on DSL. I would like to set up a ftp and ssh server so I can access my files from school. I don't know how I can possible do this and if people can point me towards information on whether this is possible and how to do it.

You will need to setup Port Forwarding on the Linksys router. The linux machine should have a static IP address, but it will work if you use DHCP and it pulls the same address each time. You can then forward port 21 and 22 to the IP address of the linux machine. On my old Linksys router I think it is under the advanced settings, but your manual should have instructions for port forwarding. Hope this helps
