"ssh" is designed for the job.

On your home computer enable the sshd daemon. You may need to do port 
forwarding if you have a firewall/router-box (port 22).

 From work you can just use ssh client, or from a windows machine I 
recommend "putty" from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
