Hi Kris,

Unfortunately, Meld doesn't support remote filesystems at all.

We're currently in the situation where GnomeVFS is deprecated, so
there's little motivation to add support for accessing files that way,
but our current required glib versions don't include gio. A version
bump that would allow gio/gvfs support is certainly on the cards, but
there's no ETA on such support actually arriving.

cheers,
Kai
