In Linux $HOME is an environment variable pointing to the specific users home directory. Its not a directory called $HOME.
If you SSH into the unit using the same username XBMC is running under and type
echo $HOME
This will return the home directory. Follow on to .xbmc etc from there.
The home directory varies from linux disto but can normally be found at /home/whatevertheloginnameis

$HOME would normally be the directory you find yourself in once you've connected. Failing that, the cd command with no arguments should take you there at a shell prompt.
Otherwise, if you're sticking with SFTP, then yes - cd home, cd <yourname>, cd .xbmc, cd temp, get xbmc.log

Thanks a lot. I found it.
For some reason, when I go to /home/user I don't see the .xbmc folder in cyberduck.
I instead had to manually go to the path /home/user/.xbmc using Go-->Go to folder from the menu.
No idea why but I hope this can help somebody else

.xbmc is a hidden directory, that is what the . in .xbmc means, so no you won't see it by default. You can get to see it with ls -a
