No packages need to be added.  Simply open your firewall to the internet.

The problem is, the file sharing software for Linux is not secure enough 
to do this.

You will be very vulnerable if you do this, and I would not recommend it.

You will be able to use ssh (secure shell) to tunnel in and perhaps do 
the job securely that way, but you will need an experienced Linux 
Security Consultant to do this, and this is not something that I can 
describe over email to you.

Steve
