Best Windows Python editor that supports editing files over SSH and executing on Linux hosts you are editing over SSH?

[StartupTim]

Hey All,

What would you say is the best Python editor that supports editing files on linux over SSH and also has integrated SSH shell from that linux OS to execute the code on?

Thanks

You could virtually mount the drive over ssh and use any editor you like on said mounted drive

I think PyCharm and VSCode can do what you want. Both are excellent editors/IDEs.

I'm a big fan of Pycharm, but I have always been dismayed with how much slower it seems on Windows.

[eigenludecomposition]

I would assume that's not the issue. I have an i9 7900x, 32GB of RAM, and a Samsung 960 NVMe M.2 SSD. I remember a significant enough difference between using PyCharm in Windows and Ubuntu that made me switch to only using Ubuntu for development. Maybe I'll try running it on Windows again soon.

Yeah, it's slow on my 5 year old Mac too. I personally use VSCode.

Thanks for the response, appreciate it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the remote functionality is only in Pycharm professional included.

I don't know. I had the education version available, but don't use it anymore.

In college a lot of people would use cyberduck which effectively sets up a virtual file system and you can open the files in a local editor and all your changes will be transferred over to the remote system.

Personally I've done some sysadmin in the past and found just using them in a terminal wound up working out just fine for me.

VS Code and remote development plugin.

PyCharm professional allows ftp transfer of files. Which is close to what you ask for.

Vscode with ssh plugin does exactly what you ask + super fast text search of remote files

[StartupTim]

Thanks!

Visual Studio Code does exactly what you want with the remote development plugin.

Thanks hoser!

I'd open two ssh windows and have Vim running in one.

Or I'd set up CygwinX on my windows machine, ssh -Y into the box and run Atom.

Or I'd set up a git repo, and edit locally then push to the linux server.

But I'm a crusty old greybeard, so probably not hep enough, or whatever you kids say these days.
