Using gedit via remote ssh (on Dreamhost server)

Question

Is this possible? I already tried using ssh -X user@host, and while there were no errors, it still wouldn't allow me to edit my files via ssh.

Is there anything else I can try?

Answer 1

You can use sshfs to access the file and use gedit locally. Or you can use vim/emacs/nano. Dreamhost likely blocks X-forwarding, however.
