Re: [orca-list] editing remote files

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
There are a couple of ways to do this. Firstly I have on my system a 
program called sshfs which allows me to mount a directory over ssh on my 
system and then anything which can write to a local file can write to 
ssh, so use what ever editor (eg. gedit) which takes your fancy on your 
system, no accessibility issues. Alternatively write the file locally on 
your computer and use sftp to transfer the file to the remote machine 
(not as good as sshfs as you have extra steps to go through).

One thing I would say is don't bother trying to use a GUI login over ssh 
as I don't think at-spi will pass the information from the server to 
your local computer (well it may be possible but it would be much more 
trouble to set up than the above options).
