The best I've found is sshfs.  Basically you can mount a remote
filesystem over ssh.

There are LOTS of things that will do it via a GUI, Konq as Ron
mentioned, and both KDE and Gnome have ways to semi-permanently mount an
ftp or ssh or nfs or smb dir, but very few do it at the filesystem
level, so you can use screen on it.

So your options are sshfs, smb, or nfs as far as I know.
