   Hi   
   I would suggest sftp then, as long as the sshd daemon is running that's   
   all that's needed.. eg `sftp://someuser@somehost:/`   
      
   Else look at using flatpak cockpit, it includes a file browser over   
   ssh...   
      
   If you want to mount a remote drive on your internal lan, look at sshfs.
