[WHEN] 
You want to transfer files from/to a server which you have a ssh access
[HOW]   
As root:
install fuse
#apt-get install fuse-utils sshfs ssh
and load its kernel module
#modprobe fuse
add your regular user to fuse's group
#adduser [your-user] fuse
(reboot the machine)
Now using your regular user:
Mount your remote directory:
$ sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
e.g.
$sshfs remote-user@remote.server:/remote/directory /home/user/remote/
(If you only put  ':' is going to be your default directory)

Unmount your remote directory
$fusermount -u mountpoint
