I use Emacs on my win32 workstation to edit files on my Linux servers via SSH. There are at least two Emacs third-party modules ("modes") -- Tramp and Hobo -- that allow you to edit files over SSH. I use Hobo (never tried Tramp, I think it's for XEmacs anyway). There is a bit of setup. You'll need to use "pageant" and authenticate by RSA/DSA key. See PuTTY's Web site; you may also need to do some Googling to set up agent-based authentication. Note that pageant will make PuTTY authenticate automatically as well, so it's easy to test whether your pageant setup is correct, apart from any Emacs-related issues. You might also need to configure Hobo slightly; email me if you want my configuration details (though I can't help you with the pageant/authentication stuff, so get that done first :-). Once you're done, you can load, edit and save files quite transparently. Not everybody's cup of tea, but there you are. :-) Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
