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?

    WinSCP is a nice GUI app that will connect over various protocols and let you edit a file easily. You can save the connection details so it’s just like 2 clicks to edit a file.

    Surprised everyone is recommended SSH and vim and stuff when you wanted easy and simple.

      Technically speaking the OP would be, most likely, be using SSH as the protocol to connect to the server using WinSCP. But yes, I agree with your point.
