Text editor for editing files over ssh

I can't find any free programmer-oriented text editor that would run on windows and would edit remote files over ssh(sfpt). Any suggestions?

+3 A:

PuTTY + vim/emacs/nano/etc on server server (console only)

WinSCP + your editor in client side (GUI).

+5 A:

jEdit with the FTP-plugin does SFTP also. The normal open-dialog allows with the plugin to open remote files via (S)FTP. If you save, the file will be written through (S)FTP.

True and a very nice editor indeed. However jEdit has this stupid bug that doesn't close the connection after saving a file and uses a new connection for the next save. With a couple hours of work, you can freen your server off any memory.

When I was a Windows guy, I used EditPlus. It's great to use for SSH/SFTP stuff.
