There's something just wrong about scp'ing every file you've changed. I normally use Sublime Text 2 - is there an editor or something that can upload files right as they are changed via scp?
If not, is there an efficient way to go about developing remotely?

With SSHFS you can mount a remove filesystem via SSH, that's about as seamless as you can get, but you'll need a very low latency connection for it to be useable.
e.g. it's fine for working on a dev server that's in the next room.

This looks interesting, but my ping is about ~50-100ms. Why is that relevant for a one-way save? – dsp_099 – 2013-06-14T21:38:55.853
Because your editor might hang while it waits for the save to finish, also searching might be painful. Give it a go though. – therefromhere – 2013-06-14T21:39:38.107
I use Dropbox to sync files on a remote development machine. Not sure if this is the kind of answer you are looking for though. – Michael – 2013-06-14T21:31:32.873
Thanks for your input michael. Everything has to be encrypted however, and frankly I don't really trust dropbox to keep my stuff safe – dsp_099 – 2013-06-14T21:35:00.590
You can use an encrypted disk image in OS X. The name escapes me at the moment, but you can make it sparse, so takes up less room. – Michael – 2013-06-14T21:37:51.853

Another option I've just found is https://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/ - a daemon that automatically rsyncs a directory when files are changed (using inotify or fsevents), so that's kind of like using Dropbox without Dropbox in the middle, but I know nothing more about it.

@therefromhere, it seems to be what I need but is missing lua: configure: error: Need a Lua toolchain with matching versions ('lua' library and 'lua' and 'luac' programs) – dsp_099 – 2013-06-14T21:57:31.863
