No, it's basically a modified version of a file browser; you get a
directory listing, you can browse subdirectories, and selecting a file
causes an action to happen on the server. You also have some "action
buttons" that provide a measure of control: click a button and
something is done (eg a key is pressed, or a 'killall' command is
fired). The browser works just fine.
