Opening LibreOffice Draw file from FTP (curlftpfs) fails

I am using curlftpfs to map a folder:
mkdir ~/ftp_docs;
curlftpfs -o "user=myusername:mypassword" myftpserver.co.uk ~/ftp_docs/
here I can see ftp_docs and access the directory as any other on the system.
When I try to open a draw document by doing:
libreoffice --draw EveningChecklist.odg
I get a dialog showing:
General input/output error while accessing /path/to/file.odg.
Only other changes I have made to the system is installing at-spi2-core which seemed recommended.
Can anyone advise?
EDIT: just a bit more information. The same thing happens when using gio mount to mount the directory.

There is no solution to this issue:
Several GUI application (gedit, leafpad,...) use open(O_RDWR) + seek
mode for saving files which cannot be supported by the FTP protocol.
Therefore saving files might throw an error. Hopefully future kernels
will provide special errno's to make it easier to deal with less
capable file-systems.
Which is what https://github.com/JackSlateur/curlftpfs says.
The best solution is perhaps to just use LibreOffice's inbuilt File → Open Remote... functionality.
