Understood, though as I said, you may find the colour resolution a bit
ropey since IME vnc crams the colour info into fewer bits than SSH uses.

I think its worth looking at, since  you can use the scp and sftp
utilities for scriptable or command-line file transfers. In addition,
quite a lot of GUI ftp clients, such as gftp, also implement the SFTP
file transfer protocol, so don't need an ftp server to be running on the
RPi.

It may also be worth knowing that a networked RPi can also use source
version control systems, e.g. csv and git, to access code repositories on
your other hosts.
