Remote file edit in Filezilla

Hi there

Just a hint for people using filezilla -- easy way to edit remote files when remote system only has console type text editors (vi/vim etc)

If you have a remote server with non GUI - you can still edit files on it via filezilla say from a laptop using a full screen text editor -- saves messing around with VI / VIM or some of those awful console text editors

simply from filezilla at the remote file list right mouse click against the file you want to edit :

ensure if editing system type config files etc that you enable ssh on the remote server you allow root / admin access)

Here I want to edit the remote SAMBA file (/etc/smb.conf) on a Centos 8 server running headless and no GUI installed.
