That sounds as though you didn't really copy the file on the remote disk before you opened it with an editor. It's something like the meaning of "pulled". If you copied the file to a local folder it's yours. If you're trying to edit it remotely it still belongs to someone else as far as the OS is concerned. When your editor goes to save it on the remote machine you, as the local user, must have read and execute access to the remote directory into which the file will be stored. Have you tried a Save-As into a local directory? Does the directory where the file is stored on the remote machine have write access for everyone? That's actually fairly dangerous and is unlikely to be an Apple default. Apple's GUI access to permissions lacks some capability in that it doesn't make it easy to set and unset the execute bit in the UNIX way. It's whole lot easier in Terminal.app where you can perform an ls -l to see all of the permission bits with chmod available to reset them. But yeahhh. I know. That's not the Apple way. It's also just possible that someone has enabled access control lists. That's popular in machines that are network servers but it's a real PITA in a home environment.
