Is it possible to open a file from a remote vfolder (ftp:// in my case) using gedit and save it directly ? On RedHat 8.0 and 8.1 Beta, it doesn't work. Is it normal ?
Let's look at this step by step.
You setup a vfolder that points to an FTP server. From the server's point of view, you are just another FTP client. Your desktop software makes it look like a folder to you, but it is really just an FTP connection.
When you tell your software to open a file in this 'vfolder' using an editor, your software downloads a copy of the file (via FTP) and opens that copy for you.
When you attempt to save the changes, your software will try to upload the changed copy to the FTP server, overwriting the original file.
If the FTP server does not allow uploads, then your attempt to upload will fail. If you are not logged in to the FTP server using an account that has permission to overwrite the original file, then the attempted overwrite will fail.
