Filezilla is an ftp client that supports file transfer over ssh: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
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.


There are native win32 clients (no cygwin required) for both.  The tightvnc 
client is gpl.  The nx client that I know of is commercial software but it's a 
freely downloadable from nomachine.com.
