Another way, if both systems are unix, is to have the local file-system remotely mounted on the machine running the kernel. Then use the SetDirectory[] command to set the working directory to where your files are located. Doubtless there is a MathLink solution also. Perhaps there should be a MathLink `mini-Front-End' whose job is simply to provide a file-browser and input/output facility.
