How to perform local OS operations when using a remote server in --listen mode?

[marcsyp]

Let's say I have a remote server in --listen mode that I am accessing on my local machine. I am writing an extension that opens a folder with special configuration files, and I want to create a button that opens this folder (a network location) on the local machine.

Using the 'os' namespace works great -- for opening the folder on the remote server where the user cannot see it. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks.
