I'll second the use of Tunnelier. It makes tunneling from windows to linux a snap, gives me a shell, and an SFTP client. It even can let you use your own local FTP client and create a tunnel to a SFTP server.
I had the same question a while back, and since I don't always like a simple answer, I came to love the Everything Engine. It is a web app, written in perl, and runs on a webserver providing a node based frame work with certain things, like permissions and access writes, already inherent inside.
With a basic setup, it might help with what you need.
With a little tweaking (perl knowledge, html knowledge, a little patience...) it can do most anything "data" and quite a lot more.
