Martin,

Sorry ... I was in a rush, and wasn't clear enough.

With respect to the LAN, you can use nfs or samba, as I do, and run his GUI
on your workstation, pointing at the files on the headless server.

Over the Internet, you can use Samba through an SSH tunnel:

  http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~manolis/help/tunnelsamba.html

The first one is compatible with a Windows LAN, the second one is
appropriate for a standlone computer accessing the server exclusively.

For NFS, see:

  http://www.math.ualberta.ca/imaging/snfs/

The first one doesn't call it out explicitly enough, but if you look closely
at the mount commands, you'll see that it is using NFS over TCP.  Your nfs
implementation has to support that option.  If not, the second one deals
with NFS over UDP.
