Tramp over eshell local vs. remote directories

[Reza Housseini]

Hi Michael

I open a virgin emacs with emacs -Q and then connect to a remote server 
via dired: C-x d /ssh:user@remote.server:/some/directory and from there 
open a eshell M-x eshell.
Now when I change directory in the eshell with cd ~ I go back to my 
local user directory. I this intended behavior (kind of unexpected) and 
is there a way to stay on the remote side?

Thanks for any hints!

Cheers,
