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 are a few choices.

    You can create a shortcut (Windows), script or desktop file (Linux). This is probably the easiest method, and works outside on the internet browser.

    But as you talked about bookmarks, I am assuming you want to edit directly in your browser. You can host an instance of OnlyOffice Community Edition, and use that as an editor, and save the direct link to service with the appropriate arguments in the URL to recall the file.
