Sharepoint 2010 Designer missing Master Pages from Site Objects

How can I access the Master Pages link under Site Objects in SharePoint 2010 Designer when I am connected to the site remotely rather than being local?

When using Sharepoint Designer 2010 on the server itself with a local URL, I get the Master Pa开发者_开发百科ges link in the site objects so I can edit Master Pages.

However, accessing with the designer over the internet the Master Page link is missing.

You can also find master pages in this path : All files -> _catalogs -> masterpage

My user wasn't a member of the Farm Administrators group. This fixed it.
