I have an FTP connection active through the Map Network Drive option in Windows 7 64-bit.

When navigating the remote directory, I see no way to edit files. Windows is completely ignoring file-type associations and "opens" everything with my default browser.

Is there any way that I can simply edit these files?

I'm open to suggestions of other software as well, but from what I can see, NetDrive doesn't work with 64-bit.
