[clug] Desktop commandline & remote embedded device

[Hal Ashburner]

Hey Bryan,
You know how to do this. You've done it before. Just do it again.
Connect nautilus to your phone over ssh. This mounts your phone's
filesystem locally.

At the prompt type "mount"
to see all the mounted filesystems and pick the one that looks most
like the phone. cd to it, go nuts.
