You've got a few choices, none of them completely satisfying.

1. use vacfs under plan 9 via drawterm
2. use 9p (http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man1/9p.html)
3. use Netfiles (http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man1/netfiles.html)
4. use v9fs (http://v9fs.sf.net)

9p and Netfiles are completely portable; Netfiles only
runs under acme but it presents a nice interface.

V9fs only runs under Linux and I haven't tried it in a
while so I can't vouch for its stability.
