title: How do you edit files over SSH?
body: <p>I program with eclipse and sometimes use GUI text editors like SciTE or vim. However, I'm at a point in a project that requires me to edit files over a ssh connection in a 80 column SSH window.</p>
  
  <p>Since I have to (* shiver*) <code>sudo vim</code> before I can open the file I'm not sure how to open the file in an editor <em>outside the terminal</em> (that would allow me to see the text wider than 80 columns). If the command line was larger then I guess using straight vim wouldn't be a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I'm at a loss of how to deal with this situation and how I could turn this nightmare into a manageable coding environment.</p>
