Pretty simple. You need to Bookmark the FTP site and then open it from GEdit.

On Ubuntu 12.04

  • Open the Home Folder
  • Go -> Location…
    • Enter the FTP site [ftp://www.someftpsite.com]
    • Enter credentials [select Remember forever according to your choice]
  • Bookmark -> Add Bookmark…
    • Save this location as a bookmark
  • From GEdit Text Editor, you will now be able to Open the files from the FTP site

You will now be able to from GEdit, open and edit remote files and save them directly to the FTP Site
