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 use transmit for the mac. I paid for it because it's just way better than cyberduck in my opinion, and I love that it lets you edit files directly from the webspace so when you save it, it automatically uploads the changes. You don't have to download a file, open it, make your changes, save it, and upload it again - you just open transmit, find the file you need to edit, right-click and choose edit, and it opens the file in your text editor. Then when you're done you literally just save the file and your changes are updated on your website. It's so much less clicking and it's a HUGE timesaver.

Oh, and as for editing, I use textmate (another mac application) - Michael (mipadi) actually introduced me to it, and yes, I paid for that as well.

FYI -- You can do this in Cyberduck, too.


I'm not sure if you were saying, "I use Transmit for Mac instead of Cyberduck because Transmit has this feature and Cyberduck doesn't," or simply "I like this feature about Transmit;" but Cyberduck can edit files directly, too, although the menu command is a bit hidden and bound to a weird key. (Actually, all the commands in Cyberduck are bound to a weird key, because the author is Swiss and thus uses the first letter or so of the name of the Swiss German command, but I digress.)

I tend to mash my sentences up and go onto a different topic altogether before adding punctuation, lol. I'm not really familiar with Cyberduck's interface anymore, simply because I stopped using it not long after I first installed it. I started using Transmit because I was getting frustrated with Cyberduck (I can't remember why exactly, it was during a time when I was editing and uploading a TON of files and I just remember being frustrated). I remember being sad that Transmit only had a free trial version and once that demo was up I realized I couldn't go back to not using it, so I bought a licensed version. It's kinda like why I have an iPod instead of some other mp3 player. They technically serve the same purpose but I couldn't understand why someone would pay so much more money for a "special" kind until I had one myself.

This probably has something to do with what you said about some of the menu commands being hidden though, and speaks volumes about how little patience I have when it comes to familiarizing myself with a program. I need to save time, and if I feel comfortable with something right away then I'm willing to pay for it as opposed to something that will take time getting used to, haha.
