What about this:
(setq-default
frame-title-format
'(:eval
(format "%s@%s:%s"
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'user) user-login-name)
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'host) system-name)
(file-name-nondirectory (or (buffer-file-name) default-directory)))))
It needs Emacs 23.1, due to the parameters of file-remote-p.
Best regards, Michael.
