Gabe already mentioned the FUSE SSHFS method. I like it because it's nice
and transparent.
If you use vim (like a good little hacker), you can use the 'netrw'
functionality which has been included as a standard feature since vim v6...
even on Windows!
This lets you do things like this:
vim scp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/file.pl
or:
vim ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/file.c
This awesome little vim plugin gives you access to remote files via SCP,
SFTP, DAV, FTP, HTTP, RSYNC, and RCP (Why, diety-of-choice, WHY?!)
You can also browse remote directories with netrw too.
