Opening files from SSH in PCManFM

I'm using Fluxbox, and I'm using PCManFM (launched via "dbus-launch pcmanfm") as my file manager.
I opened an SSH folder, and when I double clicked on a file to open it, nothing happened.  For example, on a .txt file, gvim opened, but it didn't load the file.  Where does PCManFS mount SSH folder, and how can I have it open files correctly when I double click on them?

As far as I know You can only manage files (move, copy, delete etc.) the way You are trying to do it as they are not "local". It may not be the greatest advice but I feel like it may sort You out - use SSHFS to mount the ssh share and then just add it to the Pane in PCManFM? This way the files and folder will act like a local files and folders. This will allow You to play with them (edit, play etc.) just like they are on the hdd of the machine that You are currently sitting next to.
Regards.

P.S. Instead of sshfs-fuse package You will need sshfs as the howto was written when I was using PCLinuxOS. I am using the same method with ArchLinux without any issues on LXDE and KDE4 machines here.

  • Open files from a specific directory

    Dear all,

    \r = return

    \j = illegal escape character
    JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser("C:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin");
    You could/should use:
    (new File).pathSeparator
    or
    (new File).pathSeparatorChar
    and
    (new File).separator
    or
    (new File).separatorChar

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • How can I list open files from the same application

    I often have several different files open in Word, Excel or Adobe.  However only one is visible.  How do I get a quick list of the other open files from an application?

    Many applications have a Window menu at the top of the screen. Clicking on it will list all the open windows, as well as providing other options depending on the application.

    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

    All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
    Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

    Files on an external hard drive open just like files on the internal drive - but I get the idea that you are having a problem just finding and seeing those files. Is that correct?

  • Windows client - error opening file from OS X Server

    We discovered, that some files cannot be read from windows applications via the server - Xserve 10.4.8 Server.
    When we try to open files from applications (open dialog, or double click ) via the server, the apps stop reading with errors. These errors occour not with all files!
    A copy of these files to the local Win-machines of course can be read.
    But, using a normal Win XP machine as a "server" will work fine.
    We use the latest Xserve and Software and Win XP-64 Clients with a 1000BaseT Network.
    Is there a samba issue, or can we modify some settings?
    This is really frustrating, because this was the reason why we bought the Xsever.
    Can anyone help me?
    Regards Markus

    The only thing I can offer you is a "me too".
    I have the same issue, but it only appears in some applications. My guess is that the method the application uses to open files makes the problem appear; other applications the users are using do not have this issue.

  • DW CS3 no longer opens files from SourceSafe

    Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files from Visual SourcesSafe
    2005 when you right-click and choose to View with DW, even if DW is
    the registered application.
    DW receives the focus, but nothing happens.
    This used to function with DW 8. I have tried it on two
    machines, both of which were fresh installs, so could not be
    conflicting with DW 8 in anyway.
    Is this a known bug?
    Matt

    It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.

  • Word, PowerPoint and Excel Crash when opening Files from Sharepoint Site.

    Hello,

    of the site. 
    I have tired running each app in various modes (Safe-mode, Compatibility mode ect) but the same results keep happening. Although it does not happen all the time on other users machines its more frequent. If i download the file and open it locally this does
    not appear to happen. 
    We are all running Office 2013 SP1 32bit on Windows 7 Machines.
