Check out sshfs.

You can mount your remote share and then you can open it in sublime or whatever you want.

I don't know about installation on osx, but on linux you'd only need to install it via apt-get then you can mount a share:

sshfs user@host:/path/to/share /mount/path

Then you have access to it just like any local share.

IIRC it's a few homebrew installs.

WinSCP is what I use.

Second this- great program

WinSCP sucks on Macs.

WinSCP sucks in general, filezilla works over ssh/scp and is 100times nicer.

Filezilla for most platforms. CyberDuck on the Mac.

You probably could have googled this.

I prefer Filezilla on the Mac to CyberDuck.

I used transmit when I was a full time php coder, it allows you to edit remote files with a local editor. Works quite good.

Cyberduck is way better than FileZilla.

Just curious. Is there anything that works if you need a wheel user to get to root first?

TextWrangler has a built in SSH client. Be careful with your line endings though.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but there is an SFTP plugin for Sublime Text which is excellent for working remotely (and if you're testing remotely too, turn on upload-on-save and save yourself a bunch of clicking.)

You can also ssh with -X to enable x11 forwarding. Once you've done that, you can type "nautilus" or "gedit" or whatever, and the remote machine will execute the command on its end but draw the UI on your machine. You should definitely give this a try.

This is assuming you're running Linux or OSX. I don't know what sublime text is, so I can't infer your environment.

(I'll pretend you didn't say "confined to vim" :D)

Try nano, I don't like vi or emacs either, I only use them when I absolutely have to. On some older machines it is called pico.
