SSH. Otherwise SSL over HTTP, assuming the Leenucks box has Apache and a
certificate.

SSH is just another protocol over TCP, so I suppose you could write your own
implementation, or get a third party component that wraps it for you. You
could also "automate" it with something like putty (which is an SSH client
that runs on Win32).
