Is there a programmer's text editor (line numbers, syntax highlighting) for Windows 7 that offers

  1. Edit in Place via SCP
  2. A non-administrator instalation/runs without instalation

Free is nice, commercial with demo is acceptable.

Komodo Edit will do this I think. (Komodo Edit Portable).

It's free and has a very nice feature set.

vim is another option:

uses pscp (from putty) to do the 'edit over scp' part, read more:
