As Kai pointed out, the `Example Methods' node has examples of this.
However, I'd recommend looking at ssh if at all possible.  Try to get
ssh working through your firewall.  It might be impossible, but if you 
do manage to get it working, you can use ssh's proxy features to have
a cleaner solution.
