Can text editors like gedit access/edit remote files via fish?


Currently I'm using KDevelop for development in a remote server (far far away) via the Fish protocol (Files transferred over Shell protocol). However KDevelop is quite foreign for me (plus I'm not development KDE stuff) and I'd like to use gedit for development (customization!).

Does gedit work with FISH -and if so how do I do that? If not, what other customizable text editors that supports caching of remote files that I can use?

FYI: I've tried SSHFS method, but because of the network latency (MY <-> HK <-> US) using fish is the better option.


Solution

  • No. gedit uses gvfs/gio, which supports SSH as one of its transport protocols.
