open file from remote host with Kate

Question

Is it possible to open a file from a remote host with Kate like you can with vim:
vim scp://root@cc3//var/log/dp.log?
I've tried the following but neither option seems to work:
kate scp://root@cc3//var/log/dp.log & and kate fish://root@cc3//var/log/dp.log &

Answer 1

I know its old but I found solution best for me.

I use kubuntu so I have Dolphin and Kate.

In Dolphin I add Network => connection to my ssh

in Kate I installed plugin File system Browser.

Just open kate and paste path from dolphin in filesystem browser and safe like a project. So I have a tree of subdirectories of my project.

Something like this
