How do you "remote" edit files on your router in a GUI editor on your Mac/PC?

[XIII]

So far I have been mainly using vi to edit files on my ASUS router (in an SSH session on the command line), but I would prefer a GUI editor (with syntax highlighting, etc.) on my Mac/PC.

Visual Studio Code has support for remotely editing files over SSH, but I don't think my AC86U router satisfy the requirements for the remote machine (I have it working for a Raspberry Pi)

How do you "remote" edit files on your router in a GUI editor on your Mac/PC?

I use WinSCP to remote into the router, then open the target script with Notepad++

I love it. A lot nicer working with Bash/Ash files in Notepad. I keep a second SSH shell open to actually run/test the script I am working on

+ 1 Win SCP & Notepad++ mostly used for router/ iPhone jailbreaking stuff =

Yes, I recently started using similar (transfer) tools on my Mac: ForkLift & Transmit (and then editing files using Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code).

And even more recently I used an editor that has limited transfer support included: Nova.

As much as I hate Electron, I still seem to prefer Visual Studio Code over Nova, so it would be great if VSCode had an all-in-one solution for our routers.
