Sure, there's ssh. With ssh you can also do sftp, which works like ftp, only it's encrypted via ssh. If your server is on a trusted network, you can also use rlogin or telnet, but if you connect to you web-server via the internet, *don't use these*, because they are *very* insecure. I run a headless NetBSD-machine at home, which I use as a small home server (nfs mainly) - except for installing the system or changing BIOS-settings I can do *everything* via remote login. If you run a Un*x-like system on your PC (like, uh, FreeBSD, some other BSD, Linux) you can also run X11-applications remotely on the server and have their windows displayed on your local machine - just login with 'ssh -X user@host'. If you run windows, you can do that, too, but you have to install third-party software. XFree is available for Win32, also, there are some commercial packages. I think, Exceed does something like that. There are ssh-clients available for windows, as well, of course.
