Screens lets you store connections to multiple computers, and can even provide a screenshot of their last known state. In some cases it might be slow, but it does help protect my data when I’m using a spurious Wi-Fi network. I’ve also taken the somewhat more complex step of setting up OS X Server to host a Virtual Private Network (VPN)-essentially an encrypted tunnel that lets me securely route my data and my Internet connection back through my home network. These services allow me to quickly interact with my home machine as well as download files to whatever Mac or iOS device I happen to have with me at the time.
Most basic is the Secure Shell (SSH) command line interface (OS X calls it “Remote Login” in the Sharing system preferences pane) and its associated Secure FTP (SFTP) file transfer service. I maintain several different services to let me access my home machines.
