NERDTree is totally devoid of any network-related feature. If you are using it with something like fuse or expandrive you are not using it over SSH but on local files. If you are using it in a remote Vim via SSH, you are not using it over SSH either. If you did something like :e scp://foo//bar/ and see a directory listing you are not using NERDTree.
