Filezilla. Cpanel File Manager. Windows Explorer. CuteFTP. Direct FTP.

What ftp program do you use?

I really want Direct FTP because It has a built in file editor.

Its 35 bucks.

What programs can you edit files on?
Like what ftp programs let you right click a file and select edit and save it.

I tried on filezilla but when I open a stylesheet in notepad it opens with no spaces?!
I heard if you open in wordpad it fixes it but I dont like wordpad:(

I just use good ol' Windows Explorer... I type in my ftp domain and username, and I'm in. All I have to do is drag and drop files from my hard drive in order to upload what I want.

If I want to edit something, then I edit the original file on my hard drive and then replace it when I drag and drop into my browser window. IMO, it's the best way to go... simple, easy, and free.

How do I change the default text editor it opens files in?

Right now if I double click a file on the server it opens it in notepad.

How can I chnage it to open in another program?

Because for some reason when i move a file to the desktop and view it it looks like:

body{background-color:red;}header{background-color:blue;}

and it lists it all like that with no spaces when it should look like

body{
background-color:blue;
}

header{
background-color:blue;
}

Well, if you right-click instead of double click, and mouseover "Open With" You can then select the "Choose Default Program" option.
Then you could have it open up in whatever editor you so choose.
