I appreciate the inputs. Thanks. I thought I will have to use vnc like the good people of FreeBSD.

This depends on the file manager and desktop you are using. In KDE's dolphin you can use fish://user@host:/path/to/directory as URL. However, I also find sshfs-connections more reliable and you don't get annoying popups each time you download/upload a file.

Midnight Commander can do it.

You might like to use sshfs, which lets you mount the remote file system as if a local directory tree. Then you can can browse them with your local file manager.

Is it possible to browse files on another box with a file manager using ssh? If not what are the alternatives.

Thanks
