I think konqueror stores that file somewhere in your local /tmp, and it
uploads it as soon as the process (emacs in your case) has finished.  So
to emacs it looks like a usual local file, and I guess there's nothing
you can can do (except not using the konqueror indirection).

It may work with kate, because that may guess from the filename (or
something else) that it's a copy of a remote file, and signal some
upload request to konqueror...

What you could do was mounting the ftp directory locally.  Most probably
konqueror (or some other KDE thing) can do that...  If not, there's
pretty sure some FUSE plugin.

Bye,
