If you are thinking that your home PC would need to be on use ReadyNAS remote from work, then that is incorrect. So one option is to simply install readynas remote on your work PC

Well the short answer is in fact to just set up HTTPS or FTP. There is some more information here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=63452&hilit=+FTP#p355471 and viewtopic.php?f=23&t=58380&hilit=FTP+passive

If you pick FTP, then I would suggest FileZilla. For HTTPS, you just use your web browser. And of course you can use ReadyNAS Remote.
