Is it possible to connect to remote ssh server with username and password and read a file? I've done some research and did not come accross with any information about this. I'd appreciate any insight.

An inherent feature of ssh is that the communication between the two computers is encrypted meaning that it is suitable for use on insecure networks. SSH is often used to "login" and perform operations on remote computers but it may also be used for transferring data.
In the Terminal app on your Mac, choose Shell > New Remote Connection. Select a protocol in the Service list. Select a shared server in the Server list. In the User field, enter a user name, then click Connect.
There is direct support for ssh/scp in RCurl:
x = scp("remote.ssh.host.com", "/home/dir/file.txt", "My.SCP.Passphrase", user="username")
