Using local programs on remote ssh session

Using local programs on remote ssh session

Quite often when I’m accessing a remote shell via ssh, I’d like to have a look at some files not only with the remote computer’s vi but maybe with my own MacVim or some other program.

"While it's not exactly what you describe sshfs will let you use your local tools on remote files. It lets you mount a remote directory via ssh. So you could use macvim on a file that lives on another machine.

You can get sshfs via macports or by downloading and installing macfuse. (no links as I'm typing from my phone, though google should get it done for you)"
