On remote hosts, is there a trick like having an Emacs-slave on the remote hosts? Something like SSH for Emacs, that makes use on remote systems seamless?

- stinkytaco 9y agoI guess it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you are trying to edit on the remote machine, just open the files directly in emacs is the best bet: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20624538 http://stackoverflow.com/a/20624538 (side note, this is one of the best parts of org-mode, it supports remote links to files. When you open the link, it will open it in a buffer and depending on your config, even switch to the correct mode). On the same page there's a tip to set up dired (an emacs file browser) to browse the remote machine and open files within emacs. You can also run eshell or ansi-term from within emacs, if that's what you need to do. So I guess I don't find much need to run a client system, but I'm not 100% sure what your needs are.
