preferred method for remote access off network server

Simple question. WebDav ftp or vpn ?

Are you talking about web-servers, i ask this as i see you mentioned WebDav. I think at the end of the day it will be up to personal preference and needs, so some may utilise multiple solutions instead of an all-in-one solution. My advice is to try them all and see what best suits your needs.

My personal choice for UNIX/LINUX system usually is SSH as it allows me to use multiple protocols securely through an SSH tunnel. For Windows Server RDP or VPN depending on what i need to do.

Its a NAS with some descent web server tool, played around with all 3. Liked ftp but no editing option. WebDav was ok with netdrive. But didn't seem able to get a secure connection

What type of NAS is it.

If there is no security for any of the remote access protocols and ssh is available and allows port forwarding, you can use that to create a secure tunnel to the NAS. A VPN is the next best option as you can bridge your local network to your remote network. A VPN is the best option as you may not have to worry about port forwarding on most open networks.
