I've been looking for a way to use a gui text editor to edit files on a remote server. Most options seem to involve a fair bit of setup at one end or both ends. I recently discovered the fish:// protocol in konqueror that seems to use ssh to allow gui based (in konqueror) file browsing and the ability to edit remote files with a local gui editor. It seems to make a temporary copy via scp and when you save, it overwrites the existing remote file via scp. This is EXACTLY what I want due to it's simplicity. My only problem is that I haven't been able to run KDE for over a year (on my laptop) due to some kind of config problem and after spending time trying to fix it, I got frustrated and switched to gnome (where I have now grown very comfortable) Although I can run konqueror in gnome, it loads all the kde libraries (or at least a bunch of them) and I'm already swapping memory to HD due to RAM linitations. I hope that someone can tell me of an equivalent (simple) system in a native gnome app. I'm not afraid of switching editors. I do mostly php programming and use scite. I have also used quanta in the past. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
