How about using tramp instead? I find it the most wonderful 
functionality in emacs for remote file editing. To use it just open a 
file in your local emacs with 
`/ssh:user@host:/path/to/file/on/remote/machine'. If you use ssh_keys 
then you don't even need to enter your password, feels almost like a 
local file.
