Remote files in local program


Hey everyone,
I've got a general question, and I can't seem to find any information on it. I have a bit of a problem, where my internet connection is a little slow or the remote programs I'm running over ssh -X are too large. For this reason, I'm wondering if there is a way I can run the program off my local machine, but find a way to only use ssh to actually go in and access this file on the remote server. I'm hoping this would run much quicker, and more efficiently, than having to run the entire program off the ssh server.

Thanks!!!

You could try to tunnel a IP-Connection as
such (like a VPN) through ssh, and then
nfs-mount the resepctive directory that
holds the file you need.... just a thought.

Cheers,
Tink
