Is it really needed to execute the commands as they are in the remote
system? If there are no version problems between your local machine
and the remote one, I think you would be better off with a sshfs or
some other means for mounting remotely available directories to your
directory tree and SSHing to the remote host inside geany terminal
window.

Hope this helps,
