sftp - FTP client with cyberduck like 'open in your editor' functionality - Ask Ubuntu


on mac os there great ftp client called cyberduck upon connection offers open file on server preferred text editor. downloads file in temporary folder, opens in text editor , upon saving uploads server. know there plenty of ftp clients linux, yet come across 1 provides feature. can mention 1 me?

thanks

all text editors gvfs (e. g. gedit, gnome's default text editor) or kio (e. g. kate, kde's default text editor) support can open files on "virtual" file systems including ftp network resources.

in addition you'll need file manager knows gvfs/kio can browse virtual directories , knows how tell gvfs/kio-enabled applications open resources on such file systems. examples such file browsers are

  • nautilus, ubuntu's/gnome's default file manager,
  • thunar, xubuntu's/xfce's default file manager,
  • nemo, fork of nautilus,
  • dolphin, kubuntu's/kde's default file manager,
  • konqueror (also kde).

you can instruct file manager access ftp directories as outlined in answers sftp – replace instances of sftp ftp.

this works file types have gfvs/kio-enabled viewers/editors. examples eye of gnome, totem, , evince, ubuntu's/gnome's default image viewer, multimedia viewer , pdf viewer, respectively.

a nice thing approach application doesn't need transfer whole file before can viewed if partial view possible (and implemented), e. g. long video files. seeking within file possible this.

p.s.: tested nemo , noticed following detail: if text file doesn't have file name extension hints textual content (e. g. .txt or .log) file browsers try guess content type based on actual content. infeasible remote files. hence you'll need tell text editor explicitly open file, e. g. dragging file browser onto text editor window.
