Basically this uses SCP to view and transfer files. nothing but an SSH daemon is required to run on the server. It is NOT the same a SFTP which requires another daemon running on the server.
Here are some links to open source projects describing it.

I think this would make a GREAT plugin for the BEST file manager!
Anyone have the time and skills to give it a go?
