The ideal solution would be to make emacsserver and ssh interoperate, but that's hard. The two workarounds I would have offered are sshfs and eshell, both mentioned already. | |

@Gilles: I know nothing of Tramp, so my "hack" alegation must needs not apply. I was particularly thinking of various file manager programs that have menu items like "open in an editor". While these to work to get a file open, they are typically brittle in the way they require the file being copied, modified, copied back, etc. Intermediate file saves before the editor closes are often not pushed upstream making them an awkward way to work on files. If you know a way around the limitations in Tramp @starcorn complained of by all means add another answer!
