Yeah.  The remote system is an Unix OS with filesystem, etc. just like the
host.  I suppose an interesting thing to do might be to have the remote
server remember what was uploaded but that would actually limit you.  We can
upload shared objects, set remote LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. or not upload at all
but just run an arbitrary binary on the remote (which could be nfs or samba
mounted) or even attach to a running pid on the remote.  Flexible.
