Yes, I did that using UltraEdit32. Works just fine. VMS files shown in the
file/directory view just as any local files. I also helped "IDM Computer
Solutions, Inc" (who produces UE32) with some minor changes to their
VMS FTP support.

And you could use Samba (or similar). Or WebDAV...

But any new/modern editing environment will quite certenly *not*
run natively on VMS...
