Process remote data with local matlab

I'm using a remote system to run C code to generate data, and then I want to use a local copy of matlab to analyze that data. Is it possible to SSH into a remote server with matlab and read data files for analysis? Unfortunately the remote server is a supercomputing cluster and doing trivial analysis of the data means having to wait in a queue for other more intensive computations to complete, so I'd like to analyze the data locally if possible.

Consider using
system('scp RemoteSystem:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/local/file')

MATLAB does not have scp support built in -- e.g., you cannot use scp: as a URI.
It would likely be possible to use loadlib() or build a mex interface to communicate between MATLAB and scp.
I would not anticipate that anyone would bother to implement scp in pure MATLAB, as it is a complicated protocol with many security risks if it is not implemented by people familiar with securatizing programs. MATLAB is, though, really not designed for securatizing programs.

I am having the same problem since many many days now. Can somebody guide me to achieve the thing as mentioned in the main question. Currently, I have access to the remote files via SSH. (On Ubuntu Linux 14.04, MATLAB R2015a)
