Also works as FISH component of Midnight Commander's Virtual file system:

cd /#sh:user at remote.host.com

and you'll be prompted for user's password.  This leaves you with all 
the MC capabilities - file transfer, editing, shell commands, tagging 
and multiple file operations.  Anyone used to this app and its inherent 
efficiencies should give this a look if you haven't already.
