[LUNI] Best package for a remote access GUI client

I'm looking to replace a Windows server with Linux.  

 

What package can I use to replace Windows Terminal Server with a similar
remote access on Linux (preferably somewhat secure).  I'm using OpenSSH for
the command line but would like to have a GUI available as well.  I'd need
clients available in both Windows and Linux.

 

Also, is there a recommended FTP server and web server.  Lighttpd seems to
be the current favorite over apache, what about ftp?  Ultimately I plan to
run a CMS on the server, probably Drupal or Joomla.

 

Actually, I'm not even sure I really need FTP when I can use sftp in
OpenSSH.    I don't plan on having FTP open to the public, just for me to
transfer archive packages for myself for backup.
