Remote (FTP) files don't work as "Favorite Files"

    Version: 15.1.0.8 on Mint 18.

    If I open a remote file by FTP then select Favorite Files, Add Active File, it correctly adds the filename and FTP path to the filelist.

    But if I close the file, close UEX, re-open UEX, select Favorite Files, open that file, I get a blank edit window, with the filename on the tab, and a message banner "The file, ftp: path filename, has changed on disk Do you want to reload the file" yes/no.

    Whether I select yes or no the edit window remains blank.

    What am I doing wrong? I've used the win version since last century and use the favorite/remote file facility a lot :(
