[TxMt] Remote editing

[Brad Choate]

Thanks, William. This is the first real packaged solution that solves  
this problem for me.  I made a few modifications though. Namely, my  
net connection typically doesn't allow direct SSH connections to my  
laptop, so instead of the remote 'mate' command issuing a ssh session  
directly, I have it running through a tunnel.

So when I connect to a remote server, I add a '-R' switch, like so:

	-R 7777/localhost/22

For example:

	ssh -R 7777/localhost/22 user at remotehost.com

(You can use some other port besides 7777, and obviously, this  
requires ssh to be running on your local mac.)

Once you connect, it's possible to ssh back to your local machine  
over localhost:7777.

Then, the 'mate' command I use on the remote server uses the tunnel  
instead:

#!/bin/sh

# Replace this with the port you're using for tunneling back
tunnelPort=7777

remoteUser=willu

if echo $1 | egrep ^/ - > /dev/null ; then
     path=$1 ;
else
     path=`pwd`/$1 ;
fi

HOST=`hostname`

echo Opening $path as ${remoteUser} to ${SSH_CLIENT%% *}

ssh ${remoteUser}@localhost -p ${tunnelPort} remoteOpen ${USER} $ 
{HOST} "$path" < /dev/null
