As Ken Moffat said: "Could you not use an sftp client, or simply 'scp' to 
access the files?", it remember me of sshfs. You will be able to mount any 
directory from an ssh and access the files with any application.

If you do that you could for example add a command in bluefish to 
mount/unmount the mount point so you won't need to run an external terminal 
if nothing is mounted.
'Edit > Preferences > External programs' to add a command. And 'External > 
Commands' to execute it.
