I've tried setting tramp-default-method to "scp" and then using /usern...@server:/ This just results in tramp waiting for the "remote prompt" for "60 seconds". And then it just hangs until I hit C-g. How do I tell Emacs where to find ssh? Sorry, I've never used tramp before. What I liked about the emacsclient approach is that I would be able to launch the editor directly from within scratchbox, rather than having to memorize the location of that directory in the host system and ssh to it.
