JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

You could use a local vim to edit files on a remote server:

vim scp://remoteuser@server.tld//path/to/document

If you have write access to a home directory on the server, you can also do something like this to load your .vimrc at startup:

alias vim="vim -c ':source scp://you@your_computer//yourpath/.vimrc'"
