Are these files you need to edit within your local network? You could
export the directory on the server and add it to your fstab locally. It
could be automounted, I think. I have image and mp3 directories mounted
to allow editing and playback. Here is one fstab line for the images
directory on my server:

noisy:/mnt/hda6/images /mnt/images nfs noauto,user,rw 0 0

The server name is 'noisy', and the directory '/mnt/hda6/images' is
exported by nfs. Note the 'noauto' directive, which I assume could be
left out for automounting. 'user' lets the user access it, and rw is
read-write, of course.

The line in /etc/exports that exports the images directory from the
server, allowing only lan access, is:

/mnt/hda6/images 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)


This assumes a linux server running nfs, of course.
