If you want to do things graphically:

In KDE:
 * Open Konqueror
 * In the Location bar, enter "fish://servername"
 * Enter your username and password.

In GNOME, allegedly (I've yet to get this working):
 * Open a Nautilus window (e.g. click on Computer on the desktop)
 * In the File menu, click on "Connect to Server"
 * Set "Service type" to SSH and fill in the blanks

But see:

I understand that the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) project comes with
a SSH module, enabling you to use SSH to mount a remote filesystem right
in the Linux file tree. This is not yet really ready for general use.
