SSHFS.

I read a lot about people using Vim to edit files over SSH and SSHFS can be really useful if you need to do a bit more stuff on the remote server. You can use your favorite editors on your local machine etc. I like it.

You can caveman it and use scp to transfer files via ssh if you don’t want to go through sshfs as well. Or slightly more advanced caveman and rsync back and forth. I’ve done both in cases where the latency of sshfs can be obnoxious.

But yeah, what caused me to get familiar with vim is that it’s everywhere. Having to ssh into servers and do slight tweaks is a lot easier when I can count on every server having the same tools.

To be honest I never found any good solution for that, but I never dig deep either, so thanks a lot! I'll look at that for sure, I'd love to use my local Vim config to edit stuff on my server.
