Remote files
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
|kitty| has the ability to easily *Edit*, *Open* or *Download* files
|
||||
from a computer into which you are SSHed. In your SSH session run::
|
||||
|
||||
ls --hyperlink=auto
|
||||
|
||||
Then hold down :kbd:`ctrl+shift` and click the name of the file.

||||
Remote file actions
|
||||
|
||||
|kitty| will ask you what you want to do with the remote file. You can choose
|
||||
to *Edit* it in which case kitty will download it and open it locally in your
|
||||
``EDITOR``. As you make changes to the file, they are automatically transferred
|
||||
to the remote computer. Note that this happens without needing to install *any*
|
||||
special software on the server, beyond ``ls`` that supports hyperlinks.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If you have not setup automatic password-less SSH access, then, when
|
||||
editing starts you will be asked to enter your password just once,
|
||||
thereafter the SSH connection will be re-used.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, you can choose to save the file to the local computer or download
|
||||
and open it in its default file handler.
