You should use the Cygwin ports of that tools ("vim" from the base
distro for example) since most native Windows applications are not able
to deal with that socket oriented connection used by sshd. Windows
tools like `edit' are using the native Windows console commands most
of the time so they are only able to run in a standard console. While
you are connected to another machine, the communication is quite
different. And don't try to start GUI tools. This will not work, either.

Hope, that helps,
Corinna
