Remote file system support, eg: sftp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Maybe I'm just missing the option, I thought everything supported remote FS 
these days.

I'd like to be able to enter something like this in the file browser:
sftp://name@host:PORT/var/log/xx.log

Even better would be a regexp for the name such that date rotated names could 
be specified, eg:

sftp://name@host:PORT/var/log/\dddd-dd-dd-xx.log

Please consider me another voice requesting this. I do all of my development work using Remote Explorer on a server, and this seems like the perfect tool for me... except it can't use the remote files I care about.

Searching for good library for SFTP and other remote communications... please help if you know some. Thanks!

Also very interested in this. I believe you can use the library located here: http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/

Thanks for the tip.

Hey all, look into using SSHFS and remote mounting your log directory. That's what I did and it works like a charm.
