Is there a way to do this?

[Ken Keefe <kaje@digitalfamily.org>]

So, when I want to edit a text config file on my server I usually open a
ssh and say "emacs <file> &"

The problem with that is that because it is not only sending the file
data, it is sending the gui data with it, it is very slow over a normal
internet connection. I know I could do emacs -nw to speed things up, but
I like the window. 

Anyway, my question is, is there a way to open a text file on a remote
system using a local application only through a ssh session? In other
words, I'd like to edit this file, but I don't want to use the emacs on
my server, I want to use the emacs on my local machine so it is very
responsive.

Thanks,
Ken Keefe
