        Open a file on the remote server.  The arguments are the same as for
        python's built-in C{file} (aka C{open}).  A file-like object is
        returned, which closely mimics the behavior of a normal python file
        object, including the ability to be used as a context manager.

        The mode indicates how the file is to be opened: C{'r'} for reading,
        C{'w'} for writing (truncating an existing file), C{'a'} for appending,
        C{'r+'} for reading/writing, C{'w+'} for reading/writing (truncating an
        existing file), C{'a+'} for reading/appending.  The python C{'b'} flag
        is ignored, since SSH treats all files as binary.  The C{'U'} flag is
        supported in a compatible way.

        Since 1.5.2, an C{'x'} flag indicates that the operation should only
        succeed if the file was created and did not previously exist.  This has
        no direct mapping to python's file flags, but is commonly known as the
        C{O_EXCL} flag in posix.

        The file will be buffered in standard python style by default, but
        can be altered with the C{bufsize} parameter.  C{0} turns off
        buffering, C{1} uses line buffering, and any number greater than 1
        (C{>1}) uses that specific buffer size.
