The X server (GUI environment) can be redirected remotely, either securely or insecurely. To do it securely, you use ssh port forwarding. To do it insecurely, you simply use X's built in redirect mechanism, which makes use of rhosts.
To find out how to use ssh forwarding, subscribe to the open-ssh mailing list. In regards to your ws-ftp issue, I would recommend instead using ssh for your ftp needs. SSH comes with a sftp server which makes your ftp sessions secure.
