Linux ftp editor

Post by jankidudel »

I've read about almost all KDE editors are able to connect through ftp. I'm using Kate in Kubuntu, maybe who can tell me how to connect to remote server (like Notepad++ in Winodws can). ?

It's been a long time since i've used KDE but it used to be something like this.

Instead of a directory of

/home/me/stuff

Use a URL such as:

ftp://me@myserver.example.com/stuff

I think, it's better to mount the remote server locally. There should be a menu like "Places->Connect to a server" (I use Gnome, sorry)
or you could mount it "manually" - http://www.linuxconfig.org/mount-remote ... filesystem
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't

Thanks for the replies, good amount of time went from my post, and I 'm again in Windows, because although Linux is free and has many many free applications, the editors aren't working good with my laptop because of some touchpad incompatibilities.
