File manager over X

$

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!)
