Found a new toy: sshfs
Friday, November 6th, 2009 by SteveI just discovered sshfs. This allows you to mount a remote filesystem using nothing at the server end other than a standard ssh server.
Once installer, as a non-root user you can just:
mkdir mnt
sshfs username@server.domain.com:/path mnt
Then you can access it, copy files etc (both directions) as if it were a local directory
ls mnt
When finished this disconnects it:
fusermount -u mnt
