Thanks for the many suggestions...  Lots of interesting ideas and 
different perspectives.

I'll give that a look - it's not really what I was after - while I 
suppose I wasn't really clear about my intentions, I really wanted 
FS-like access to enable me not only to edit text files, but also to use 
visual differencing tools etc.  I'm suspecting that this wouldn't be 
supported using an ftp-like approach.

That's new to me - looks very interesting...  I'm guessing I'd need to 
get this working under cygwin for my XP client...  Anything which 
improves the performance of remote X sessions would be very useful.

This is exactly what I wanted to know. I hadn't thought of googling with 
"putty" as I'm using OpenSSH on both client and server - but the 
techniques look the same.
