Working with Remote Documents

Oxygen JSON Editor supports editing remote files, using the WebDAV , FTP (Deprecated), SFTP (Deprecated) protocols. You can edit remote files in the same way you edit local files.

A WebDAV resource can be locked when it is opened in Oxygen JSON Editor by selecting the Lock WebDAV files on open option to prevent other users to modify it concurrently on the server. If a user tries to edit a locked file, Oxygen JSON Editor displays an error message that contains the lock owner's name. The lock is released automatically when the editor for that resource is closed in Oxygen JSON Editor.

To avoid conflicts with other users when you edit a resource stored on a SharePoint server, you can Check Out the resource.

To improve the transfer speed, the content exchanged between Oxygen JSON Editor and the HTTP / WebDAV server is compressed using the GZIP algorithm.
