Sure, if VPN suits his needs. Might be a bit oversized for plain
backup imho. However, this could also be of interest:

http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/

"rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp

allow users to copy files off of via scp, without providing shell
access, you can use rssh to do that."
