This is what I want to do.  I can open files on a remote server
through gedit and it uses ssh/sftp.  I save the file and it saves it
on the remote server.  I don't manually scp or sftp the file to the
remote server.  Is there a setting on the client or server side that
needs to change?  I am willing to change config files for ssh if need
be.
