It seems BaseX gui works only for local databases. Is there any way to connect with and manage a remote BaseX server using BaseX gui? If not, is there any 3rd party solution?
Thank you in advance.

I finally found the answer in BaseX docs. BaseX http server ('basexhttp' executable) provides box web based web based administration in this path (without changing the defaults) http://localhost:8984/dba . Documentation here.

You can configure the BaseX GUI to connect to remote data by setting up a webdav server which will map your remote BaseX data folder like a local drive and then set the BaseX GUI Options/Preferences/General/Database Path to point to that drive. Then you get all the nice BaseX GUI functionality - including visualizations - for your remote database. I've done this and it works great. Large databases and slow networks can hamper your experience.
Webdav Docs here: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/WebDAV but I don't think they mention this setup configuration for the GUI connection.
I found this link to be helpful for webdav windows setup: https://www.maketecheasier.com/map-webdav-drive-windows10/
