Hi Gösta,

Geany is my code editor of choice on ssh.

My run string looks like:

Fedora 33:
$ ssh -l todd -t -X -p xxxx  aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

It opens a command window and I fire off Geany
from there.

You do have to get ssh working first though.

Other code editors fall on their noses over ssh
as they are so very, very bloated.

HTH,
