Running an unknown app on a trusted remote server under your local user account - not a good idea! Just keep it local on your own machine. Your editor can handle everything way faster locally, plus it can grab files with SSH’s built-in (and mature to the point of being ancient!) capabilities: caching, compression, and instant text file downloads over an open connection. You can even check for remote file changes using stat. Even better, use sshfs or another FUSE option. There’s a ton you can do with plain SSH alone. This whole running-a-remote-server idea is, frankly, puzzling.
