How can I access my home linux machine which is connected through Router

How can I access my home linux machine which is connected through
Router?. All of my machines at home connected via netgear router, I
need to access some files from Linux box from work?. How can I do
that?.

You usualy connect to your box via ssh (22) but I have a feeling that port
will be closed by the firewall you probably have at work. If you did get
through the firewall, I supose you'd have to tell your router to forward
port 22 to your linux box.

Off the top of my head, you have to
set your router to forward port 22 through to you linux box.
enable/start the sshd daemon/service,
allow port 22 through your linux firewall,
add your work ip to /etc/hosts.allow example: sshd : LOCAL, work_ip_here
service xinetd reload to load hosts.allow

While sshd might be compiled with tcp_wrapper support, don't know
about any distro dump enough to run it from (x)inetd.

Then use some port other than 22 for SSH. They might not all be blocked.

Hey, the OP has not read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
and did not indicate distro and release so I threw in everything I
could think about.

Then again we have no idea what he is going to select in the system
configuration tool.
