Next connect to the FTP site (such as your Web host) where you would like to edit a remote file. If you need assistance connecting to your FTP site, click here.

Once connected to your FTP site, navigate to the desired destination folder on your local system (My Documents, Desktop, etc.) as you would for a normal transfer.

Then on the remote system, navigate to the file you would like to edit. This could be an html file, a graphic file, a text file (as in the example below) or any other type of file with which you can configure an editor.
