Edit Android project remotely (FTP) using Android Studio

Question

I have an android project checked out from git into an ubuntu server. I will be doing git check-in and check-out files inside this ubunut machine.

I have installed Android studio in my local system .i.e. windows machine.

Is it possible to use FTP in Android Studio to directly import the project from ubuntu server and edit them without copying to my local windows system. I did search around the internet and couldn't find any posts regarding how to do this.

I'm aware that we can install Android studio in Ubuntu itself, but I'm not allowed to do that.

It would be very helpful if anyone throws some light on this.

Answer 1

FTP is not enough, you need something like NFS that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.
