For a KDE application using the KIO framework, there is no difference between a local and a remote file.

For example start KWrite and use a ftp URL as the filename in the File->open dialog.
Better use fish, as FTP is nut secure and transmits the password in clear text and any sensible server setup should have SSH enabled.

Thank you.
Some unix server hasn't installed x-window and kde can't work then I must use vi or emacs to write codes

This is not necessarily a problem. All you need in order to use the feature anda_skoa mentioned is KDE on the *client* computer and an ssh or ftp access to the server.

Just type something like
fish://youruser@theserver/home/youruser
(ssh access required)
or
ftp://youruser@theserver/home/youruser
(ftp access required)
in the location bar of konqueror.

Then open any file you like with any registered client-side application you like. This works even with non-KDE apps because KDE transparently downloads and uploads the file for you! The only thing you should avoid is concurrent editing of the same file by other users.

If you need to run any programs remotely (e.g. compile jobs) then you can do that via ssh, too. You might even put that command on a button...

Even if you're sitting in front of a windows-only machine you could use KDE by using the great Knoppix distribution that boots directly from CD!

(as you can see, working under Windows is not a plus for me, but rather the opposite)

Exactly!
Remote X has been available for ages, so that wouldn't be a KDE feature.

KDE's IO framework allows any KDE application to work with remote files, it's quite poor that one needs a special application on Windows to do it.
At least one would expect from XP to have a decent network transparency of file IO.

gave a test run to magic c++, it was fairly cool. works fine doing remote editing,debugging and compiling.
It's interesting cuz user works under Windows but the real meat is on the Linux server side. A productivity booster for windows programmers. Linux programming newbies can also use its user friendliness.

Oh, the astroturfers are loose.
