If you enjoy tinkering, you could still setup remote desktop connection, but it'll take more effort (dyndns, port forwarding etc...) VNC is also an option, but with the same hassles as remote desktop.
gotomypc offers a 30 day free trial (long enough to set up his machine) and logmein appears to be free (https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/g...ree/signup.asp). Which would be easier for my non tech savvy father to set up?

Would these programs allow me to send him files?

I enjoy tinkering, but he doesn't.
