vi is always useful for two purposes:
- you need a fast starting editor for a slight change
- you need to do penance
Nevertheless, if a remote box has ssh, finding (C-x C-f) the
/scp:user@machine:/path/to/the/file
loads the /pat/to/the/file file downloading it from machine. And of
course you can save it.
