As someone else suggested, try fuse-sshfs, with

sshfs remotehosts: /mnt/remotehome

you can mount your remote home directory to /mnt/remotehome and with

fusermount -u /mnt/remotehome

you can umount it. Nothing more than a unprivileged ssh account on the remote 
machine and fuse-sshfs on the local machine and a user in the fuse group is 
required.
