Dotan,
You are getting many responses, so perhaps this idea has already been
rejected, however --- I use ssh AND sshfs. I get shell access to the
remote machine with ssh and for file access I mount the portion of the
remote fs that a want on a local mount point. I know there are a lot
of machinations going on under the covers, but it does work. Put the
mount point in your home directory. If you can ssh to root on the remote,
you can also get root access to the remote file system.
It works for me.
