If you are truly interested in doing this, let me again recommend
using Kai Gro�johann's "TRAMP" package:
ftp://ls6-ftp.cs.uni-dortmund.de/pub/src/emacs/tramp.tar.gz
A couple of caveats:
1: "ange-ftp" got superseded by "efs" a couple of years ago.
2: IIRC, efs and TRAMP don't play nicely together.
3: I said it was "possible" to use ange-ftp with ssh, but unless
you like hacking around with elisp and other sundry details (ssh
port forwarding, etc.), using TRAMP will be easier.
If you do use TRAMP, your life could be as simple as adding this to
your .emacs:
(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method "scp")
and then editing a file thusly:
C-x C-f /[root@somemachine]/etc/hosts
Of course, I'm hand-waving a bit here, but you get the idea.
