Re: edit files over ftp

I forgot to point out that it only works with gedit. As far as I know,
it's different from program to program, Bluefish f.x. opens ftp-files
writable by default.

As for managing files on a server, I tend to use gFTP, or if the
operation requires it either Nautilus or even sometimes Konquerer
(perfectly usable from Gnome).

hi list
this is my first post in this list and also my first time using gnome /
ubuntu. So my question:
is there a way with to edit files over ftp? If I open a ftp connection
with nautilus and want do edit a file, they only open with
writeprotection, the same over ssh. What I'm doing wrong.

thanx nos





You can open gconf-editor, go to
apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/save/writable-vfs-schemes
and add ftp (and ssh) to the list. That should do the trick :) .
It was bugging the hell out of me too ;)



hi christian, thanks for the hint. Unfortunality I switched to kde, but
since I switch my desktop all cupple of months so I will try it next
time I use gnome. Is this working with all aplications or only with
special ones like gedit? I dont understand way, editing files over ftp
(or any network place) isnt working by default, cause IMO this virtual
filesystem thing is one of the most nice things on linux, so that I dont
have to bother if one file is on my computer local network or anywhere.

Currently I doing webdesign an have to edit files on servers all day.
For this usage the gnomedesktop laks on some points. For example try to
rename some filenames in a folder with >500 files. after every renamae
action the folder will be reloadet und new alpabeticaly sorted, this
process takes so long it makes renaming allmost imposible. Also nautilus
crashed somtimes or gives me permission errors if I upload files. This
behavor I dont have on my current installation. I' dont no if this is on
my computer only ore a common prolem.
