Comment 2 for bug 1612708

oddly enough it depends on how one accesses the remote files.
opening and modifying a text file with xed work on direct access (through /run/user ....)
through the symbolic link, I can read it but attempt to save after modifications will fail

Could not save the file xxxx
xed cannot handle file: locations in write mode. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.

other text editors will fail differently, leafpad truncates the file to 0 bytes!
