I would like a program or website to connect to a computer and be able to edit a file there.

Say I have a server. Call it 192.168.1.2 Say I have a file. Call it /data/editme.txt

I want either a simple link I can bookmark to edit this file, or to a note app (such as Joplin or Obsidian) and also be able to edit this file.

I tried using Syncthing, however I would rather not have to sync the file from one location to another. This file has no need to be stored in multiple locations.

Anything that’ll solve this for me?

    There’s a project called Filebrowser that allows you to edit text files in a web interface. You can just run that on the 192.168.1.2 machine. It’s easy to set up simple auth, and you can restrict it to the /data/ directory.
