Thanks for the many suggestions... Lots of interesting ideas and
different perspectives.

Filezilla is an ftp client that supports file transfer over ssh:

I'll give that a look - it's not really what I was after - while I
suppose I wasn't really clear about my intentions, I really wanted
FS-like access to enable me not only to edit text files, but also to use
visual differencing tools etc. I'm suspecting that this wouldn't be
supported using an ftp-like approach.
For remote X you should use nx (emerge nxserver-freenx) or vnc (emerge
tightvnc).
That's new to me - looks very interesting... I'm guessing I'd need to
get this working under cygwin for my XP client... Anything which
improves the performance of remote X sessions would be very useful.
To map a network drive, you should probably tunnel samba through ssh. Google for
"samba tunnel putty".
This is exactly what I wanted to know. I hadn't thought of googling with
"putty" as I'm using OpenSSH on both client and server - but the
techniques look the same.
