I have X11 Forwarding on, and want to use a graphical interface to manage files.
How can I start the default file manager over ssh?

If you want to use the prefered file manager you can use xdg-open, to open for example the file manager in Projects/ you can use xdg-open Projects/
Source : xdg-open

The file manager is pantheon-files, so simply running
pantheon-files
works. Because pantheon-files does not run in the background by default and generates plenty of terminal output:
huey@galactica:~$ pantheon-files
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 11:43:27.546677] Application.vala:155: Files version: 0.2.1
[_LOG_LEVEL_INFO 11:43:27.546761] Application.vala:157: Kernel version: 3.8.11

I chose instead to run it in screen instead.

1To get rid of the debug output, run
pantheon-files 2>/dev/null. To run it in the background, add&at the end of the command line. Jul 12, 2015 at 14:23 -
Elementary OS 6 works with
io.elementary.filesas said by @Jay Aurabind Sep 30, 2021 at 16:15
Starting with Juno release, the commands have all changed. They're adopting RDNN. For files:
io.elementary.files
The use of io.elementary or io.pantheon, etc just complicates things. It's much easier to do a #gedit file.txt than #io.elementary.code file.txt. Oh well...
