Editing a file in-place on a server mounted via gnome-vfs is something
different than transferring files, which was the request of the first
post. You won't be able to do that using an SFTP client neither (I
might be wrong for Filezilla though).
It works for me (c) I suggest you give it another try. It's a pity
some punctual instability or slowness problems prevent you from the
awesomeness of having only one application to manage your files, be it
locally or remotely.
In general, I believe VFS from inside the file manager is a strong
selling point for developers and we should not advise an external app
when it might not be needed. The idea of getting an OS "everything
included" is pretty seductive, don't dump it right away.
