I'm running Chrome 67 on Windows connecting to my Ubuntu PC which is running NodeJS 8 I have an ssh tunnel setup to the Ubuntu PC so I can connect the Chrome Debugger to Node.
Chrome://inspect/#devices correctly spots the Remote Target
This allows me to click on the inspect link to open the debugger.
The Debugger connects and the console prints debug data from the running Node JS app confirming that things look good.
In the console messages, I can click on the links and have them open the source files
If I click on the Sources tab, I expect to see a Sources side panel (ref) displaying the file hierarchy but it seems to be completely lacking.
If I click on Add folder to workspace then it opens up a local file browser.
Has this feature been removed in newer versions of Chrome? If so is there a new way to view the remote file list?

You can use Chrome's DevTools to debug Node.js applications. It's called remote debugging and can be started from Google Chrome's internal website. To inspect your Node.js app with Google Chrome DevTools, you have to make it a remote target.
To inspect your Node.js app with Google Chrome DevTools, you have to make it a remote target. This can be done by using the --inspect flag when starting the node process:
To help you navigate sources, the Sources > Page pane can group the files into two categories: Authored. Similar to the source files you view in your IDE. DevTools generates these files based on sourcemaps provided by your build tools. Deployed. The actual files that the browser reads. Usually these files are minified.
If it isn't working in your current project, a strategy to narrow down the problem is to to create a new test project (simply keep the sample content) and check if it works there. If it works there (as it should), compare the config files if there is a difference. Another option is to remove & re-install the node_modules.
Do not click on Inspect under Remote Target
Click on Open dedicated DevTools for Node
This will launch a specific version of DevTools configured for Node which features the Node file system
