I found a solution:

(1) Start mc on Kate:

    rlh@kate:~$ mc

(2) From the LEFT menu, select SHELL LINK and for the machine name
enter "edith".

(3) From the RIGHT menu, select SHELL LINK and for the machine name
enter "edith".

Now the midnight commander display is being managed by Kate, while
both panes are displaying Edith.  So it turns out that two SSH links
are being used.  This arrangement allows me to move files from one
directory to another on the remote machine (Edith).

Note that, in order to transfer files between Edith and Kate, it is
necessary only to select SHELL LINK from one of the menus (LEFT or
RIGHT).
