  I attacked the same problem from a slightly different angle. Assuming I'm already logged in to 'remotehost' via ssh, I want to be able to type:

  vi somefile

  and have the 'right thing' happen automatically. In my case, the right thing is for a message to be sent back to my workstation which responds by opening a GUI editor window using this command:

  gvim scp://remotehost//path/to/somefile

  I used SSH port forwarding to supply the back channel for sending the messages and named the result bcvi - back-ch [perlmonks.org]

  I use Fugu to navigate over SSH. There's an edit button which loads selected remote file into local text editor (and saving the file puts it automatically back).
  
  I use TextMate with above and it works like a dream (I believe CyberDuck also as this edit option). Longer term I think MacFuse looks the way to go.
  
  I can also see smate becoming very useful tool to have available.

  BTW, do you have EDITOR=mate in your environment? because you could make it editor-agnostic by just exec'ing $ENV{EDITOR} instead of "mate", which I for one would enjoy ;)
  
  This is awesome. I like the "bcvi" hack, too; it'd be great if they could merge magically somehow.

    Yeah, the editor needs a foreground mode and you'd need to know the flags for that, that's the only potential problem.
