Administring a headless server can become interesting when moving lots of files around. File managers make it much (much) easier, and more user friendly (than doing it all with a series of mv
commands).
The file manager of choice is Thunar. Its lightweight and works fairly well for my needs.
Install it using
sudo apt-get install thunar gnome-icon-theme-full
Now files can be dragged-and-dropped over an SSH shell (remember to use -X
when ssh-ing!)
