The server has no Xwindows on it. I access the server by ssh for a command line or by filezilla to transfer files w/sftp. I want to be able to edit text files with a GUI editor via ssh or via sftp. I can edit with ssh with "$sudo nano filename" only. It's driving me crazy. I can't stand nano, vi, emacs or any terminal based editor. I need to be root to edit these files in /var/www. I am using Ubuntu server for the server. I want to use an editor with windows like Geany or anything like it. I only have enough permission in my /home to use a GUI editor else I need to sudo. I was thinking of a script to send a copy of a file over to my /home then use Filezilla, then a script to sudo cp and overwrite it back to /var/www. Still a pain. Is there any way in my situation to be able to use a GUI editor and not have to use a terminal editor? I may not of explained it clearly, sorry...also I have to sit an look at these files for long periods - for me a terminal editor I'm not productive on.
