No, it isn't implemented (yet). But it is at least on my private TODO list. I even would like to have the opportunity to execute commands on the remote host, which is a little bit different to your scenario. By this, commands like find-grep-dired could be extended to work on remote hosts, too. > Thanks for your answers, Adrian.
