I use Debian’s “Places -> connect to server…” dialog to setup connections to a couple FTP servers. Copying and such like work fine, but when I try to use GEdit, it always opens the file read-only. I can “Save As” to the exact file, so it wasn’t a permission problem. The trick is in some totally obscure config file. Here’s the (in GUI) steps to fix it:
- Run gconf-editor
- Open the tree to /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/save
- Edit writable_vfs_schemes
- Add ftp to the list
Voila. Gedit saving FTP. Via the kaylus on the Ubuntu Forums, but it is the same in Debian Etch.

OK, this is a FANTASTIC tip. This has been bothering me for quite a while, and I feel very silly for not even attempting to fix it before now!
THANK YOU!

Big issue: when you modify a file its permissions change to 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) Which in many servers leads to an intrernal server error for security reasons
