Any way to remotely transfer files to/from Retropie?

What about this link to a guide I found that seems to suggest what you are looking for, but needs some software setting up on the RPI3 as well. Once its all been set it, it appears its like Remote Desktop access similiar to Windows versions

Thank you all for the civilized discussion I hoped for. :) I want to add that I, too, accept remote viewers as a valid option, I just prefer the KISS principle of simplicity, proven open source solutions, and as little third-party involvement as possible.
The one common thing all solutions mentioned here is that they're only as good as the passphrases or public keys used to secure them, which can't be stressed often enough.
Have a nice day

Wow, this discussion took on a life of its own. Very fascinating to read. I don't know, most of this sounds like it might be over the heads of my nephew, my brother-in-law, and me. I certainly don't want to do anything that will expose their network to attacks.
I think I'll just plan to do little updates and tweaks with him when I'm in town visiting. Will be a good excuse to teach him a little about tinkering with electronics and code.
Thanks again for the great suggestions.

@clyde That's it! The KISS principle. I like that one.
@sub_atomic I hope we did not "scare you away" from setting up a remote connection. Just take your time, read up on how to do it properly and you'll be fine.
But doing it together with your nephew is a thing that I can 100% second. Passing on the love for and knowledge of tinkering and a little coding and IT stuff is always something good. :)
Cheers!
