I've got a team of web programmers that need to edit HTML and CSS that is stored on a linux server. They're all using Windows on their desktops. Rather than either teaching them to use vi/vim in a shell window or editing locally and copying using an SFTP client, I think it'd be easier to install a text editor which can transparently do the network negotiation. To reiterate, here are the requirements:
|

Aptana has all of those features and more, although a bit heavier than a text editor. Normally I'd recommend Notepad++, but it doesn't seem to have an SFTP plugin yet, only FTP. |

VI is your answer to everything. It will even do syntax highlighting. |

I have been using PSPad for a couple of years now. It has syntax highlighting, but only FTP, not SFTP. But I am currently switching to Eclipse with Remote System Explorer. I did it, because Eclipse is more comfortable for programming PHP than PSPad is. It supports SFTP and connections with SSH. |

I found this question as I was having the same problem myself. Then I found out that my favourite editor e-TextEditor could edit files remotely via SSH, awesome! |

Komodo Edit comes with a built in FTP client and ticks all your other boxes, and more, including the best feature for me which is that it is cross platform. |

I use Kedit for this. It supports text files on Windows, MAC & Unix and can convert between them. It is also a smart editor with programmable language support that has the capability of editing over 100 files simultaneously. |

The free jEdit editor is a cross-platform, Java-based editor that supports remote editing (FTP and SFTP) with a plugin. |

Better to mount the ssh server as a drive and use the editor(s) they know. This answer will explain how. |
