You could use ogg123 or mpg123, depending on the file format. They are both in the standard repositories at least on Ubuntu 14.04.

The usage is..

ogg123 path
mpg123 path

one other thing you could consider doing, if I understand your problem, is to mount your remote folder to your local file system, so that you can use any player to play the music on the remote drive. See for example sshfs or samba. – Andrea Borga Nov 17 '15 at 13:00
