programs to push files to remote copmuter

programs to push files to remote copmuter

Objective: Have a folder on my desktop, drop files into this folder, this
begins a transfer from my computer to a remote computer. if the transfer
is interrupted the transfer should resume from that point.
I have no need of "cloud storage", my objective is only to transfer the
files. I realize that a P2P transfer requires both machines to be online
at the same time, but this is not a problem for my use.
I know command line solutions exist, but I'd prefer a drag and drop
interface.
I'd prefer a solution that includes end to end encryption.
Use case:
I often wish to send large video files from my laptop to my home computer
while traveling.
In my perfect solution, I'd simply drop those files into my "transfer to
home computer" folder. This would begin the transfer. I could shutdown my
laptop at any point (temporarily halting the transfer) and upon rebooting
my latop, the transfer would resume.
Ideas: dropbox ssh teamviewer / vnc / rdp wuala
While teamviewer does contain a file transfer mechanism, but the
teamviewer window must remain open for the duration if the transfer is to
succeed. Also, this method is not robust, no resume is possible after a
disconnection.
Dropbox is not encrypted, and suffers from a storage cap.
ssh is commandline based, and I've found no gui interfaces that will
achieve my objective.
wuala is encrypted, but I can't tell from their info if I can arrange so
that the download begins automatically on my home computer.
