No. I would expand more, but I'm really not sure what to say. The server is most likely not even exporting its file system in any fashion. The GTK+-2.4 file chooser widget is architected so that it could theoretically be used like this; there is separation between the file system model and the GUI components. But that's really meant for things like gnome-vfs support, and isn't exposed directly to applications. And even if it was, you'd have to design your own custom transport layer. Regards, Owen
