Open files through SSH

Hello,

I'm using PN on a windows machine, and use it to edit remote files on unix machines. The only access to these unix servers I have is ssh (and scp), and - no, I can't install samba there.

I use some shareware tool (called ExpanDrive, if you're interested) which allows me to mount a remote folder as a network drive via ssh, and that works. Alas, it works very slow, esp when opening a new file.

Is there any way (a plugin or something) to open in PN a remote file through ssh/scp without mounting anything? Some editors (e.g. emacs) have this feature, so I think that either is, or should be possible.

I use PN for last 7 years. That's a great software, I'd be happy to be able to keep using it!

To make it clear: I'm not sure it's a feature request, as I do not know if this feature is persent already. If it is a feature request, I will file it where it should be filed.

You can use WinSCP (and probably some different file managers) to connect through SSH/SCP - you use the same authentication information you would use for PuTTy. Then you can configure WinSCP to use PN for editing files (just setup the editors and change internal to external and choose pn.exe). Remember to check "editor opens multiple files in one window".
