I used WInSCP to get into the machine and found that a double click on a file brings up the default editor of winscp which is good enough for most editing in windows. I mean stuff like editing conf files.

I'm very uncomfortable about the idea of remotely editing linux config files this way, especially if the editor is running on a Windows machine which uses a different definition of "text" in the context of text files. Much safer to run a local native editor and rely on the remote (Windows) PC to provide only the UI.
