run Grunt via SSH

Hi,

is it possible to run Grunt over the SSH terminal connection? I mean with the Grunt task tab in phpstorm.

Background: I am having a Linux virtual machine on Windows host using VirtualBox. The problem there is, that the VirtualBox filesystem for shared folders cannot handle links created by npm, because Windows only has one link type. That's a bug unsolved on both sides, npm and VirtualBox for years.

So, I sync my changes using FTP and I would like to run my programs like Grunt on the remote machine but fully integrated in the phpstorm toolboxes like normal when everything runs locally.

Is that the correct way I am using it? I have no experience with vagrant, so I am using VirtualBox directly.

Thanks,
