Does anyone else remotely connect to their library and run an instance of XBMC elsewhere? I do this a couple of places, at work, at my parents house in a different city, couple others...but all of these are pretty much connected on an Apple device running XBMC and utilizing an AFP connection. My brother in law is wanting to connect to my shares using his Windows laptop but he's having continued trouble using FTP connections. Basically it drops connection or stutters the entire time even though his system should be more than sufficient to handle whatever he's playing. I have gigabit internet so my upload & his download are not an issue.

Has anyone got a recommendation of something better to use? I thought about WEBDAV but it never seems to work correctly and when I open up SFTP on my Synology I get bombarded by Chinese hackers sniffing port 22.
