Hmm.. I guess with all this talk about security, I missed the fact that
this is a local network, as Dustin just pointed out. ;)
I think your choices are this, then: either the first thing I mentioned,
which is a single app that includes both FTP and text-editing features;
or NFS or Samba, which will allow you to mount the directory on your
machine. Both can be configured with all the access control you need in
a local network, provided that you have some level of trust for the
other members of your network.

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!
