I don't quite get this. As I understand it the following happens:
Remote Emacs (R) has emacs running with the above server settings.
Local emacs (L) will copy the ~R/.emacs.d/server/server to
~L/.emacs.d/server/server
and then launch emacsclient -f server /ssh:user@L:/etc/localfile
But to do any editing, you still need to be at R (i.e. attached scree)
to see the /etc/localfile being opened. All the emacsclient line will do
is instruct R to open that file. After wards you then press C-x # on R to
close that connection.
(All L sees is "Waiting for Emacs..." until that happens.)
Why not ssh into R and just C-x C-f /ssh:user@L:/etc/localfile without
copying anything?
Therefor I don't see what you gain. You still need R to be able to
connect via ssh to L, which means it might possibly go trough a NAT.
What am I missing?
TIA,
