For ssh, you can fake it by adding an entry to ~/.ssh/config:

Host somealias
    HostName the.real.host.name
    User user@host

After this, check from the command line that "ssh somealias" logs you
in as user "user@host" on the real host.  When this works, you can do
C-x C-f /ssh:somealias:/some/file RET.

Does this work?
