Remote file editing

It's often good to be able to edit files remotely in an editor. Here are some instructions as to how.

At the terminal

Use vi, vim, nano, or some other editor at the terminal for editing if you want simplicity and do a lot of admin work.

Other editors

Generally, a text editor will have either a built-in feature or an extension that supports adding FTP servers. You'll want to add tools, hopper, or both to your editor.
