You might look at setting up a VPN server on your PC and allow your clients
to put the files in a shared folder on your PC. Alternatively you could have
them setup a VPN server on their PCs so you could access the files from your
PC.

Other VPN alternatives include OpenVPN or SSL-Explorer...

....or Secure Shell. If you go the SSH route I recommend copSSH as your SSH
server package of choice. Its actively maintained and is based on OpenSSH,
OpenSSL and cygwin and is upgraded as those are upgraded. WinSCP is a nice
free file transfer program.
