XFree86 file explorer

Hi,
I am using XFree86 to launch X-based programs. All fine. Is there a way, however, to have some sort of file browser/explorer for the file system from which I can launch X programs? For example, from my OS X computer, can I have something equivalent to Finder? Or more useful, when I am connected to a Dec Alpha server, where I can launch Netscape and other goodies, can I view its file system in a GUI way? If so, what's the program that can do that? Since KDE is not installed on Dec Alpha, I can't use that.

Thanks,
G
 
While decidely unsexy, midnight commander could serve that function. That's half GUIish :).

What about using Gnome? That will run on Xfree86 on OS X.
 
Well, if this Alpha's running Digital Unix/Tru64, it probably has CDE installed, so you can also try dtfile.
