I have successfully used Tramp for remote editing of files over scp using XEmacs on Windows XP.

Put this in your ~/.xemacs/init.el

(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-default-method "scp")

Then open a remote file using:

C-x C-f  /[scp/yourname@yourmachine]/file.name

Of course you want to set up passwordless login over ssh for convenience
