Hi
You can mount the afs workspace using sftp:// in the file browser.
That's what I do. Just open file browser (GNOME) , pres Ctrl+L to get
the editable location bar and there type  s ftp://unity_id@hostname where
hostname can be remote.ncsu.edu . and press enter. You are good to go.
If you want you can also make it a bookmark in file browser.
