I do something similar.
First, my ssh is configured to perform RSA authentication when ssh-ing from
my Linux host to my Mac, so that I don't need to be entering a password
every time I want to edit a file.
Second, my Linux host's local file system -- at least, the directories
containing files I'm interested in editing -- is remotely-mounted on my
Mac. So, for example, my Linux home directory at /home/username/ is mounted
on the same path, /home/username on my Mac. (Fortunately, this doesn't
obscure my Mac home directory, at /Users/username.) My office Mac uses NFS
to remotely mount parts of the Linux host's file system. On my wandering
MacBook, I use ExpanDrive to remotely mount parts of the Linux host's file
system via sftp.
(Parenthetically, I find ExpanDrive mounts to be a bit fragile, especially
if my laptop sleeps for a longish period.)
Then, in my Linux .bashrc -- I prefer the bash shell -- I define function
bbedit:
bbedit()
{
ssh ${SSH_CLIENT%% *} "cd $PWD && bbedit $@"
}
Then, if I ssh to my Linux host from my Mac, executing "bbedit ..." on the
Linux host command line behaves identically to doing it from the Mac
command line.
