How to list file names on a remote unix server in r?

I created a session and can execute the ls command 

library(ssh)
session<-ssh_connect("[email protected]", keyfile = "my private key")
ssh_exec_wait(session, command = 'ls /home/')

This results of the ls command displayed in rstudio console and the function returns 0.

So this does not work

varFileList<-ssh_exec_wait(session, command = 'ls /home/')

How do I accomplish this?
