You're never going to be able to view the filesystem on a host if the host 
doesn't want to let you see it.

The simplest approach is to use a USB-Ethernet converter and network the
two devices.  Or to make things even simpler, just wire an Ethernet cable
between the two machines and forget about USB.  Then you can set up
regular file sharing (Samba, NFS, or any other flavor you like) and browse
remotely to your heart's content.
