Description
When using remote servers it's not possible to send big synthdefs across. A solution which I have already tested in the sonic lab is to mount the disk of the remote server via ssh, then write the file to the remote server and send an osc command to load the file:
mkdir ~/remoteserv
sshfs mnegrao@192.168.2.1:/ ~/remoteserv
To integrate this into UnitLib we would need to able to configure the folder where the file should be written. Perhaps the ssh part could be left to the user to deal with, since this will differ from system to system and os to os. Also, for multiple remote computers we need to mount one folder per remote machine. Does the WFS system already deal with this ?

Research direction
Review UnitLib's remote-server handling and check whether the WFS system already supports per-machine file locations. Use the sshfs and OSC flow described in the issue as the starting point; done means configuring a folder for each remote server, writing large synthdefs there, and triggering their load remotely.
