Avoid Latency While Editing Remote Files Using bcvi

Linked by Tony Steidler-Dennison on Fri 11th Jul 2008 09:26 UTC

The ability to run both console and graphical programs securely on a remote system using SSH brings you a great deal of freedom. When the communications link to that remote system has high latency, however, running interactive programs such as a text editor on the remote machine can become a real test of your patience. The bcvi project lets you edit files on a remote system using gvim (or another editor) on your local desktop machine to avoid the latency.

Gnome apps have the same functionality and will work over any gnome-vfs system too.
Example: gedit ssh://host/path/to/file

ssh: makes more sense to me than fish: anyway .

There is need for neither: just use sshfs on FUSE: sshfs user@server:path mount_path ;-)
