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

[Colomban Wendling]

@mf0hka Do you have gvfs-fuse installed and properly setup (e.g. with your user allowed to mount FUSE mounts)?  It's the module that allows GVFS (the virtual file system used by GNOME, MATE and others) to mount remotes locally.  When installed and setup properly, it should works out of the box without further configuration or anything.

The reason tools like Pluma work without it is that they use GVFS directly, where Geany generally uses plain C-library-level read/writes, which isn't aware of the remotes -- nor knows how to write to them -- without a local mount (FUSE).
