Found a new toy: sshfs
I 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

There are loads of wacky things built on FUSE. I used to mount my old phone as a file system over bluetooth. You can mount files in gmail too.
You can do this in Windows too: http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/
