My desktop is Windows. I use VirtualBox to reach a local Debian Guest OS. When logged in to the Debian VirtualBox guest OS, I ssh to a CentOS 6.6 vmWare vm. The file I want to edit-test-run resides on the CentOS vmWare vm. I wish to use emacs to edit the file on the CentOS vm but the CentOS vmWare vm does not have emacs installed and it probably should not have emacs installed locally. My workaround (so far) is to edit the file on my Debian VirtualBox vm or a Mac vmWare vm and then push the changed file to the CentOS vmWare vm to test it and run it to see that it works (or not). My other workaround is to use vi (vim) on the CentOS vmWare vm. Since I am leveraging a current (working) script to become the new script, I will need to use tabbed windows to compare working code for one product which I want to mimic for the new build script. I really dislike vi (vim) and I have not yet learned how to use vi (vim) in a tabbed manner. My desired result is to be able to use emacs on the machine that has emacs but to edit the file where the file is on the machine that doesn't have emacs. I have configured ssh so that I can login from machine A to machine B (different user on machine B) without a password. Now I should be able to bring up (using tramp in ssh mode?) the file that resides on machine B using emacs on machine A? Thanks, Ken Wolcott
