I am planning to run a remote machine (running Debian "testing") with

depending on your needs, you might look at motion (its packaged for
debian). It includes a tiny little webserver that will stream images
and allow remote control of the app. I just reviewed the manpage of
motion and it includes some configurable stuff as far as ports (not
https, though) so you may be able to use ssh tunneling to make it work
securely.

I discovered motion, but I think that it is a bit too complex for this
stage of the project. And I found three other webcam server HOWTOs.
But I still am confused as how to get the system working.

I also discovered "sftp", which may be the solution I am seeking.

I wish to be certain that my desktop system is not compromised if
someone steals the remote system; so if the remote system runs a
script for ftp via ssh, the password or passphrase contained in the
script should be exclusive to ftp. Am I making sense?
