I suggest to reorder the words in the beginning of this sentence:

  If you navigate to a file, which belongs to a remote server, in
  Nautilus via "Open With Emacs" you might not be able to save this
  file[...]

Does this describe the situation correctly?

The original wording made it hard to understand what "belongs to a
remote server".

                                     ^^
Two spaces.

Here' I'd rephrase

  The reasons for the failure can vary, and for some connection
  methods saving the file might even succeed.

> +A better approach might be to avoid navigation from Nautilus to Emacs
> +for such files, and to open the file in Emacs using Tramp remote file
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"and instead to open the file..."

Thanks.
