I haven't read this thread, but don't you want sftp:// and shouldn't root ssh login be disabled?
Why?
I cannot imagine why anyone would want to use a terminal/ssh to move files (unless its something like an rsync script). OP appears to be trying to move files using a browser (maybe I snipped too much). Konqueror supports sftp://(user@)IP/host (ssh ftp, packaged with ssh) addresses which makes it really easy to move files to/from other machines. Using the already suggested key pairs it's just like working with files on the local system.
I thought remote root logins were disabled by default, it's a standard security precaution (since I cannot $ su w/ sftp, I enable/limit root logins to key pairs on my remote server).
...I see that sshfs and using it in Konqueror via fish:// have been mentioned. I've never used them and see no point when Konqueror and sftp are already available.
