I use sshfs. If you can login via ssh then you can mount the remote server through ssh as a local drive.

For added security I limit my home ssh access to a handful of trusted IPs including my cloud VM. Then I set up an ssh tunnel from my hotel through the cloud VM to home. The cloud VM never sees my password / key

Its worth keeping this (from their readme) in mind though:

Not that it is unusable or anything, it is still in widespread use, but I'd guess many assume it to be part of openssh and maintained with it, when it isn't.

An interesting alternative might be https://rclone.org/, which can speak SFTP and can mount all (of the many) protocols it speaks.
