@mosgaard you're all missing the simple and obvious. *Every* Linux File Browser *already* has built-in support to connect to a remote SFTP share (the remote #linux box needs the "openssh-server" installed).
It goes almost full wire speed, even on tiny files. Beats SMB for speed. I use this heavily in my home lab. For example in KDE Dolphin: "Network": icon on left - > "Add Network Folder" button in the upper right - > "Secure shell (ssh)" radio button.
