Thanks to Phil in Computer Support for this:

1) If you're not on a computer within the theory sector, first you'll need to set up the VPN client as instructed here. Then connect to the VPN.

2) Create a mount point for your sharedscratch:

mkdir [desired mount point]

3) Use sshfs to mount your sharedscratch at the directory you created:

sshfs [cluster].ch.cam.ac.uk:/sharedscratch/[your username] [desired mount point]

e.g. For me to do it on Volkhan:

mkdir ~/sharedscratch
sshfs volkhan.ch.cam.ac.uk:/sharedscratch/khs26 ~/sharedscratch
