[edit] Remote editing
ForkLift allows you to edit files stored on remote servers in a single click action. Instead of downloading the file, editing it, and then uploading it again, you can directly edit a remote file through the Edit with... command, found in the right-click context menu of the item.
This will cause the remote file to be copied to the local cache and opened for editing. Unlike Open, the Edit with... function keeps monitoring the local file for changes and uploads the modified version back to the remote location on file save.
version: ForkLift 1.6
