Hi Rick,
I spend most of my time editing files that are on Linux boxes where I've
got ssh access only. I add this to my .bashrc:
export REMOTEHOST=`echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
export HOSTIP=`echo $SSH_CONNECTION | cut -d ' ' -f 3`
function bbedit {
# bbedit won't open a remote file
I imagine it wouldn't be impossible, but barebones would be in the best
place to implement it. But maybe you could write a language module for it
or use the scripting capabilities? People have gotten it working well in

As BBEdit doesn't have an integrated debugger (as it's not an IDE), I

BBEdit isn't checking the permissions at all. That's being handled by

Yup, this is exactly how I use it on my Linux systems. I have a bash
function that exists in my .bashrc that ssh's back to my mac and starts
bbedit with a commandline to open the relevant file via sftp.
Here's the snipit from by .bashrc:
