Remote file access

Hello NCL users.

I have a dataset kept in a remote server. I would like to access it using
NCL in my pc and get the output plot saved at a folder in my pc. I tried the
following script.

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
begin

file1= addfile("sftp ....usrid....@
....ipaddress....:/.....path....../.......filename.nc", "r")

......................................................................
...............analysis script .........................
......................................................................

end

But it shows an error message as follows.

fatal:_NclCreateFile: Requested file does not exist as (sftp ....usrid....@
....ipaddress....:/.....path....../.......filename.nc) or as (sftp
....usrid....@....ipaddress....:/.....path....../.......filename), can't add
file

Can anybody suggest a solution for this problem ?

Thanking you in Advance.
