If you just want to access files on another *nix box, sftp is great.
If you are dpjungk on both machines, sftp://192.168.0.2/ is all you
need. If the usernames are different, use sftp://dpjungk@.../.
A path (e.g. sftp://dpjungk@.../home/dpjungk/Share/) is
optional... While no configuration is needed and I'm pretty sure
openssh-client is installed by default, openssh-server (e.g.
@192.168.0.2) may not be.

Setting up ssh key-pairs isn't hard and makes logins (ssh, sftp, etc.)
transparent/automatic (no need to save login info in the browser). I
believe ssh defaults will only allow root logins (e.g.
sftp://root@...) via key-pairs. Key-pairs are also needed for setting
up automated rsync backups.
