In its simplest you put all the content on a server (or PC), port forward from your router to the storage device and then connect to your public ip when out and about to browse your files (selecting the port you forwarded).

There's lot's of options for software to do this, upnp is one way, my cloud, etc will also be options here. - If you can get free or cheap cloud storage it will double as a backup if your home system were to fail for any reason (HDD, power cuts etc.)...

If you are security concious then look at other options such as port knocking or ssl.

Hope this gets you thinking and searching on the net for more!

Hey Skywatch,

thanks for your answer.
Well, I want to do that with my Raspberry pi and Xbian.
I thought about installing a shoutcast-server, but the "remote control" of shoutcast is limited. So I thought maybe there is a way to connect via DLNA to my XBMC. I mean XBMC CAN stream music and videos thought DLNA in my LAN. But I could not manage to connect to XBMC via DLNA over the internet. Do you know what ports I have to open in my routers firewall, so that I can connect to XBMC via DLNA?
