Description

currently micro cannot read, create, or edit files on an ftp server. i recently tried editing a .htaccess file for a website and... oh no! i had to install gedit to geditdone 😆 . argh!

any plans to add this feature? vim has a plugin that allows for a capability like this. however, a more seamless implementation would be sweeter.

btw: thanks for the wacky watermelon colorscheme, very refreshing from time to time.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First confirm that FTP support is still wanted and clarify the required read, create, and edit behavior; then trace micro’s existing file-handling path. Done means those operations work against an FTP server with documented coverage for the agreed behavior.
