Editing files over the network using SFTP is now possible. The only
prerequisite is paramiko (which, in turn, requires pycrypto). You can
now edit network files using File -> Open -> Open URL Using Minibuffer
(or C-x C-a in emacs keybinding mode) and you can type in sftp://
URLs, e.g. sftp://
user...@example.com/path/to/file.txt and it will
prompt you for a password. Passwords are remembered for the current
session, but aren't saved across sessions. If you also have ssh setup
to use an SSH Agent or if your working computer is trusted by the
remote host, you should be prompted for your passphrase instead.
You can also browse files in dired mode by specifying an SFTP
directory, e.g. sftp://user...@example.com/path/to/
