Marco: depending on what you want to do, there may be other ways to do it. If you want to run R for example, there is a "ess-remote_ command that allows you to use a remote server for the R process while still keeping everything in your local Emacs. You can also do a M-x shell that opens up a shell within emacs, then ssh from that shell into your server and now you have a shell access within Emacs. This is essentially what ess-remote mentioned above does for R - depending on what you are doing there may be a similar solution.
Having said all of that, sometimes you just want to open e remote Emacs session. I would suggest perhaps giving us a detailed description of what you are trying to accomplish.
