Opening and editing files remotely in Linux
Submitted by jacob on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 6:44pmUsing KDE, it is very easy to open and edit a remote file using pretty much any application (any application that uses KDE to open files that is). I use this method using Kate (a sophisticated text editing program), and Quanta .
To open a file using ftp, in the box in the middle at the top that shows the current path you are looking at, type:
ftp://user@site.com:port/
