[R] read.csv from a remote machine

In fact it is a bit more complicated.
I am working on a Mac machine, from this machine I establish ssh with a  
Linux machine. I run R on Linux, while all my data files are stored on  
Mac. So in this case although physically I am using Mac, it is in fact  
remote. I hope it answers your question.


Thanks again,
Olga
