   I suggest using the sftp client, which encrypts your traffic (including   
   login information), and should allow you to see the files.   
      
   You can also set it up to auto-login as "root" using an ssh key in   
   your key agent.  Default setting (on Linux Mint) for /etc/ssh/sshd_config   
   is   
      
   PermitRootLogin prohibit-password   
      
    ...which means you'll need to use a key to log in as   
   root, or change the setting.   
      
   Extra sidenote:  if you ever set things up to ssh in remotely from off   
   the Net, you might want to run denyhosts or fail2ban.   
      
   (Thunar can open sftp connections directly, btw.  Not sure about Dolphin.)
