From the Vim help for 'scp':
-----------------------------------------
"Netrw supports "transparent" editing of files on other machines using
urls
(see |netrw-transparent|). As an example of this, let's assume you
have an
account on some other machine; if you can use scp, try: >

vim scp://hostname/path/to/file
"
--------------------------------------------

I think there are some questions/answers on StackOverflow regarding
this. Try searching there for '[vim] remote file edit':
