No.  You can't run console-based Windows programs over ssh.  edit needs
a real console window to operate and ssh is not that.

As is mentioned later in this thread, use cygwin-aware editors if you
want the best results.


Well, the truth is I used "edit.com" as simple a example only. In fact
I need to use some other DOS based software with advanced UI.

I'll need to think about writing my own ssh server.

Thanks anyway.
