Hello again LL,
The more I read through this, the more I am wondering what kind of text files you are working with. If it's a system file of any kind from the server, and the two systems have the same naming convention, (which they do in this case) you wouldn't be able to save changes on the client side if a file of that name already exists in that (client) system with the same name. To save changes on the client side you would in such cases have to rename the file first. I don't think SFTP would allow you to resolve root permissions in such cases without renaming or overwriting or working in a vbox or an fcage no matter how you configured it, even if root and password are the same on both systems. Just a thought.
