Hey guys, as above I've been meaning to get this kind of thing for a while but recently its priority has gone up. I have files remotely that I want to edit with local software but without having to download the entire folder and upload it again after.
Because of this I am hoping there is a way to mount an ftp location as a local drive or folder, like you would a remote network share. If these synchronise and store local copies then it may not be worth while, although if it only uploads the changed files it could work.
Tbh I've not heard of things like this being done, mainly I think because of how ftp works. But if anyone knows a way I would be very grateful :)
 
Damn, it does work mounting the folder but the editing program I want to use on the files cant work because each file is cached locally so not viewed as a whole :/
 
Thats my point. I can do that via ftp as it is atm, but there seams to be no way to remotely use and alter files as and when without downloading them all first, its a pain.
