Is there a way to open a new terminator pane on a remote server when connected by ssh?
I am looking for something similar to what can be done (according to this answer) by tmux but using terminator instead. I want to ssh to a remote machine using terminator, and then if I split the terminator window, the new shell will open on the remote machine.

The answer to this problem for terminator and remote systems is to create a terminator profile, where the command it runs 'as a login shell' is the SSH connection string used to access the remote server. It is prefered to have SSH key based authentication or openssh controlmaster/controlpath setup to have connection sharing.
Exerpt of a terminator config for this:
~/.config/terminator/config
And simply run
terminator -p remotehost
to use this profile. Each time you 'split' terminals, it uses this profile and thus opens a new SSH connection.For ssh controlmaster, see: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/290
