This tutorial explains how you can mount a directory from a remote server on the local server securely using SSHFS. SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a filesystem that serves files/directories securely over SSH, and local users can use them just as if the were local files/directories. On the local computer, the remote share is mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). I will use Ubuntu 11.10 for both the local and the remote server.

hooking up my local network via sshfs, instead of using samba (I decided to dump samba). I've been having problems with Samba, especially when transfering large files and other little issues with reliability (interestingly they appear to be similar to the problems that one finds on Windows ... so kudos to the Samba team, your are bug for bug compatable).
So I finally gave up and started using Secure Shell and SSHFS, this move seems to have fixed the issues I was experiencing with Samba. No I think I will go and read the article.
Except I left out adding your user to the fuse group, oops.
