[PLUG] secure way to store files on another server?

I am using an offsite virtual (rimuhosting) for my server.  It
has limited disk space, about 80% full.  I have mucho disk space
and bandwidth at home, but I don't want to open up my private
network to potential security threats.  

So, I'm thinking about setting up a chroot jail directory at
home, storing big-but-rarely used stuff there, and driving
an openvpn tunnel from that space back to my server, and
doing file sharing over that link.

Alternately, is there someplace out on the web where I can
store 20GB or so of stuff Real Cheap, and redirect some
URLs to that?  The main content I'm concerned with for now
is some GB+ videos and presentations.  One hop and storage
might be cheaper than two hops.

Ideas?  Warnings?  Random nonsense?

Keith
