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.

I have been using fuse-sshfs for a few days now. It is something good to
know and I'm still using it, but it fell short in 2 aspects so far:
1. While saving over the Internet each time I habitually save a text file
isn't too bad, executing a program in the fuse-sshfs mounted directory is
unbearable. It took my program a warping 4 minutes to "download" and
execute. Worst, everytime the program reload a DSO file, the DSO file is
"downloaded" over the Internet again (and again.)
Caching is very much inadequate.
I can use rsync over a small directory hierarchy to workaround this problem
though (still not exactly convenient enough to be transparent).
2. Whenever I lose my ssh connection due to some timeout problem, it was
such a hassle to quit all text editors (so that no process has a handle to
a fuse-sshfs mounted subdirectory, I think,) and remount the directory.
Remounting shouldn't require unmounting or quiting text editors.
Thanks for all feedback. They are very useful.
