Re: [orca-list] editing remote files

No, there's a pprogram called gftp.  I can't get it to work so I'm not 
exactly sure what it does. But apt describes it as "X/GTK+ FTP client".

Someone on this list mentioned it in response to my original question. 
Otherwise, I might figure it just doesn't work. But since someone mentioned 
it, I thought maybe there was a way to get it to work.
