Question : HTTP, FTP, REMOTE, or VNC through a Http Proxy?

We have thirty computers running in our school, all running on WindowsXp pro machines which are all networked together. Our network is firewalled and site-checked. I found out that by manually inputting a http proxy (hostname: borderman04 port: 8080) in aim, putty, and some other utilities, it will work through the firewall. Is there a way I can use that trick to setup a http, winvnc, remote desktop, or ftp server that can get past the firewall? I do alot of work at home and would like to save my work and still work off our server computer, which runs windows xp pro. Currently, only computers within the network can access the shared files and http server on the computer. I'm willing to install whatever it takes to do so. Could anyone help? Thanks. I'm asking points to be refunded too if this isn't possible. Thanks

oo this is an easy one.
You can "tunnel" as stated before. In our campus, the technogically experienced have ways to get around the rules. There's nothing saying we can't so.. hey. We've signed something stating that we had to obide by those rules or be punished, nowhere it says we cant tunnel. We've looked into this from our own IT tech.

You can try Socks2Http

OR

You can try Hopster, which costs money

I love em both. We run a http server like that and the other students still are restricted. :) Everyone that needs to be is happy. :-D  Hope that helps.
