 This feature has a partial implementation and it needs a better description how it should work.
 
-Remote editing via FTP (#12), HTTP, and SSH
+Remote editing via FTP (#12), HTTP, SSH and other protocols
 
-See ''File ->  Open... -> Open URL''
+Use ''File ->  Open... -> Open URL'' to open a remote file.
+
+Examples of valid URLs:
+
+* http://padre.perlide.org
+
+* http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/Features/RemoteEditing?action=edit
+
+* ftp://user:pass@perlide.org/pub/Makefile.PL
+
+Some parts have special behavior depending on the URL type. Example: The file-refreshed-on-disk check is done less often.
+
+== Current state ==
+
+=== HTTP ===
+
+* Currently read-only
+
+=== FTP ===
+
+* Read/Write access
+
+* Supports anonymous ftp
+
+* Supports authenticated ftp (username/password)
+
+=== SSH ===
+
+(Need to check)
 
 == Test ==
 
+Automated tests are in t/94.padre-file-remote.t but you have to set the environment variable PADRE_NETWORK_T to true to enable them.
+
+Manual test: Open the following URLs with ''File ->  Open... -> Open URL'':
+
+* http://www.google.com (Should give you the HTML source of the Google homepage)
+
+* http://padre.perlide.org/trac/browser/trunk/Padre/Makefile.PL?format=txt
+ * Should open the Padre Makefile.PL
+ * Should be discovered as Perl source (see status bar)
+
 == TODO ==
+
+* Build a better UI for the open dialog
+ * Good example: VLC open dialog with different tab's for each supported protocol (source for vlc)
+
+* Convert all Padre disk i/o to use Padre::File
+
+* Find a solution for syntax check and "run file"
+ * A file edited over SSH could be checked/run at the remote server
+ * HTTP/FTP don't easily support run, but FTP files might be run-able via HTTP (CGI scripts)
