Load a Paraview state file from a pv server

I have activated a pvserver (Ubuntu), then created an SSH tunnel in my client (Win 10), and connected paraview to the server.

Then in paraview, the menu for File -> Open shows the filesystem of the server. But File -> Load state shows the client filesystem.

Is there a way to load a Paraview state file from the server?

I would rather do it straightforwardly. I guess I could map a network drive to the share in the server, so the client sees it. That would be somewhat cumbersome.

Simple answer, no.

The server manipulate the data, so data files to load (and store) are on server side.

Then you perform action in the client. A state file contains instructions to replicate those actions from the client. So state files are on client side.

Note that a state file can refer to data files. Those data files need to be on server side.
