This is the appeal of sshfs - to be able to easily mount remote filesystems and use local tools against them.

One of the best tools I have used with something like this is emacs's tramp-mode. It just works when you connect to another host.

Yeah, but sshfs has been working pretty slow to me.

There is actually this neat hack you can use(if you use VIM) with rsync.

I know it's kind of Hacky, but the performance improvement is worth it IMO.
