Is there a way I can pipe output on a server to my localhost workstation editor?

I am using bbedit as an editor and would like to pipe backwards through my terminal to my editor.

It is very similar to this: How to send data to local clipboard from a remote SSH session

There are terminal commands for bbedit: bbedit command-line tool: invoke BBEdit from anywhere in the Unix command line to open files or sftp/ftp URLs

So I'm thinking there might be a way of doing this, even with a temp file.

Would something like rbbedit work for you? From your description it sounds like it might, although I regret I can't be sure.

Another idea might be to use a Shell Worksheet, and from within the worksheet, ssh to your remote host. Then, the output of whatever you do on the remote host is available in the worksheet. (Note, though, that worksheets don't do terminal emulation.)

  • The latter seems to be the best thing so far. I need to output various items from scripts, and I want to avoid making files on the server. So basically from the server directly into BBEdit as an unnamed file or local temp file. – Rich_F Jun 25 '20 at 19:45
