I'm looking for some software that, using SSH - not SFTP/FTPSSL/SCP - would let me connect to my server via a GUI and if I'm editing a file that I don't have permissions for would let me "sudo" that operation via the GUI.

Transmit, for example, won't do this.

I'd be interested in this too

I know you said SSH and not SFTP, but they're really the same thing. I use Cyberduck a lot, and if you SFTP to a server with it you basically have exactly what you're looking for: a GUI for SSH. There's no way to sudo with it however, as far as I'm aware, but I'm not aware of any GUI tool that lets you open files as root. There are very good reasons for keeping sudo a CLI tool.

I don't know of such an app, but what is your workflow like that requires such a thing? Maybe there are other workarounds or things you can do? Feel free to describe the situation...
