Working on remote documents
By double clicking on a file in the Remote File Viewer you can open a document. The icon in the remote browser should show you what application this document belongs to. If the document name extension is not claimed by any app on the local machine, the default app is used. This app is set in the Global Preferences Panel .If you want to pick another app to open the selected document, you can do so by seelcting the Tools tab in the Inspector Panel, and picking another app from the list Executable files will be open by the default app. This way, you can use Edit to modify shell scripts on the remote host
Warning: Do not open large executables this way! They may take a long time to open and may be totally unuseful to see binary data in the editor.
Once the document is opened, you can work on it just like if it was a local document. RBrowser monitors this document. If you save your work, RBrowser will automatically save it back to the remote host, so you will have the impression of actually working on the remote host. Keep in mind that it may take a little while (usually a couple of seconds) to save back to the remote system, so do not save the document you are working on too rapidly.
