If you don't use FTP SQL will download the snapshot from the default folder
which is usually a shared folder (NETBIOS).

I don't know the ports you have to open to make that works... but you
certainly don't want to do that...

I think you should activate the FTP server in your internal network (ie:
using the VPN) and make the subscribers download the snapshots from there.
