MacOS specific

On first run the app will be blocked, because I do not have an Apple Developer account. From MacOS version 13, it seems that the way to unblock it is to right click and click Open in from Applications:

Right click and click Open in from Applications

On MacOS versions prior to 13, unblock it in this System Preferences pages:

Security & Privacy system preferences page

After starting the app, go to File -> Preferences and set up the path of your text editor. For example for Sublime Text on MacOS this could be:

open -a "Sublime Text"

Optionally make aliases for easy command line usage:

alias filesremote="open -a FilesRemote --args $@"
alias filesremote_myserver="filesremote user1@192.168.1.60"
