I'm not a vim guy. I'd like to be able to open log files in Sublime Text when in an SSH connection from within Terminal. Is there a way I could do this? I'm thinking there must be a command or something that could copy the file over to a temporary directory in OS X and then open it in Sublime Text, and when I save it, it'll copy back to the original location through SSH; similar to how FileZilla does it.
I'm on Mac OS X MT. The server I SSH into is running Ubuntu. I'm using Terminal.
You can use rsub and rmate to edit remote files in your local Sublime Text over ssh.
You need to
rsub package in Sublime Text (with Package Manager)forward port 52698 via ssh, use ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 ... or set your config
~/.ssh/config and chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config (to avoid a permissions problem)*):Host SERVERNAME
RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698
sshrsub script on the remote machine:sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rsub
Then you can do rsub file in the ssh session and it will open file in your local ST editor.
Works with ST2/ST3 and you can also sudo rsub file!
Try setting the Start in field of the program's shortcut to the location you want:

You might be interested in sshfs. With that package you can mount a remote directory via SSH and use it like a local one:
It works completely transparent and you can use in principle every program which is installed on your local machine.
In order to use sshfs you'll need also a package that provides a Filesystem in Userspace, on OSX it's obviously called
OSXFUSE(http://osxfuse.github.com).You'll find some more information at that answer on SO and the installation procedure seems to be rather standard as two
dmgpackages are provided at the above linked Github site.
