--=_critter.penguinmonster.com-21905-1025194083-0001-2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It looks like you've come down to choosing one of two different routes: The first, like you had in windows, is to find a text editor that has a built-in ftp client (or an ftp client with a built-in text editor). gFTP in Gnome seems to do this, but I don't have access to a writeable ftp server to try it on. This solution would be the quickest, if you're not concerned about protecting your password or data and all you really want to do is edit text files. The other route would be to go ahead and set up a VPN. I'd recommend CIPE. It's terribly easy compared to FreeSWAN which can be painful, and is included in many distros already. If you installed this on your internet gateway, or used another method to create routes, this would give you the benefit of having the remote network be like an extension of your local one. Not only is it secure, it's very convenient. Good luck! -Tim --=_critter.penguinmonster.com-21905-1025194083-0001-2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/1.0.2"> </HEAD> <BODY> It looks like you've come down to choosing one of two different routes: <BR> <BR> The first, like you had in windows, is to find a text editor that has a built-in ftp client (or an ftp client with a built-in text editor). gFTP in Gnome seems to do this, but I don't have access to a writeable ftp server to try it on.
