Similarly, the `netrw` module in core vim can do this:

	vim scp://user@myserver[:port]//path/to/file.txt

It will copy the file down via SSH into a buffer for you to edit, and copy the results up every time you write to the file with `:w` or `ZZ` or similar.  It's quite handy for quickly editing a file on a remote system that you have write access to.  The main drawback for me is that you can't do things like `:mak` to run make on the remote system, and you can't edit files via sudo.

But sometimes if I'm flummoxed by a lack of syntax highlighting (which to me is a form of weak linting) on a remote vim install, I'll just do it via scp:// from my laptop and job done.
