Btw, gvfs-cat http://host.tld/file will show the contents of the URI.
Similarly, gvfs-copy will copy it to a file.
Both are similar to what 'wget' does but after all, unrelated to
Geany :).

You can easily mount resources on the command line, try:

gvfs-mount sftp://username@host.tld/
gvfs-mount ftp://username@host.tld/
gvfs-mount dav://host.tld/
gvfs-mount davs://host.tld/

(when the username is omitted, gvfs-open will ask for it if necessary,
note that when using dav or davs for some reason you can't specify an
username in the URI, at least it doesn't work for me, just as a hint)

When you need a GUI, use Nautilus 2.24 or Sion
(http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/sion, there are no
Xfce-deps).

Hmm, strange.
I just fixed a couple of issues in SVN r3495. It's still not 100%
perfect but should be much better now.
