[9fans] Using Acme Remotely

[KevinK]

Hi all,

Very new plan9 user here--just installed plan 9 from user space yesterday.  
Acme seems like a very interesting text editor, and I'd like to give it a try.  
However, after searching around the documentation and watching the ShowYou 
tutorial that was posted on hacker news some time ago, I haven't come across 
much info on how to use Acme to connect to a remote machine.  

I've used win to ssh into a remote machine, but this only seems to expose a 
bash session and not all the functionality acme provides. 

If someone could point me towards some documentation describing how to use acme 
to connect to a remote machine or describe their preferred method for doing so 
I'd really appreciate it.

Best,
Kevin

Great, thanks everyone for the informative responses.  I'll give it a try and 
let you know how it goes.

It looks like sshfs does the trick--thanks!
