[Github-comments] [geany] cant edit files over network (#921)

[j0h]

In old versions, One could open a file over an ssh connection with geany to do editing. 
Im not using a version of linux that has GTK anymore, so compiling older versions isnt going so well. 
And no, Im not planning on installing old as hell gtk to see if geany 0.21 will allow for editing files over the network. It used to work, and it works no more. The file editor pluma has no problem with this functionality, but pluma is a sucky editor/ compiler.  The mechanism I use to connect to files, is thought the window manager caja, then to select geany when opening the file. Geany does in cfact open, but no file is present.  Please advise, I will provide any log if it helps to fix this.

here is geany -v for starters:
```
$ geany -v
