How to link text editor to save direct to your server? - GoFuckYourself.com

TheFLY · 12-11-2002, 09:06 PM

I remember Frontpage back in the day had some kind of way to save your changes directly in the server. I guess I have been doing things the oldschool way for too long. I use TextPad and I love it, but I'm getting kinda tired of saving, switching to FTP, transfering, etc. etc. I'd rather just save direct from my editor to my server...

I'd rather not go to a big bloated WYSIWYG, but maybe that is the answer for editing html, php, etc. direct on the server... Are there any power-user type text editors that save direct to server?

What is your solution?

When I say save direct to server, I mean that the editor should have some kind of FTP stuff integrated so I can hit "Control-S" and bam it's online.

why not use cuteftp it can setup whatever you want to use for editing, and then when done it autosaves back to the server

So you're saying it just watches to see if any of the files changed on your HD, and then it automatically transfers them?

I'm still using WS_FTP hehe like the original version or something.

Actually I do use pico, but that doesn't have enough function for my more serious coding stuff...

Dreamweaver

I found an awesome program that does the job. EditPlus. 30 free trial...

You can do a "remote open" right off your server, and timeouts aren't a problem -- you just hit "control-s" (or file/save/blah) and EditPlus will connect to FTP and save to the correct directory, etc... It's an editor for programmers so all the codes are color coded and it has some macro recording functions... I highly recommend it so far if you like to code shit by hand. After 30 days I think it's $30.

if you like textpad, try homesite it does the trick
also dreamweaver aka ultradev saves right to server

Cute FTP Pro has a built in basic html editor that you can use.

Just right click the file on your server, edit, save, and that's it.

It doesn't save it on your hard drive at all, unless you ask it to.

I couldn't see how you could get it to use a different editor though - you seem to be stuck with the default one.

Kimmykim · 12-22-2002, 11:43 PM

homesite is super at it -- only thing you have to watch is that you set it up to save locally first -- that way if you accidently screw something up you didnt just do it in public.

fly, be sure to also check out ultraedit. it does the ftp-thingy exactly the same as editplus but i personally prefer ultraedit over editplus (don't know the reasons anymore but i know i've tried them both and ended up with ultraedit)

primo DM · 12-23-2002, 01:15 AM

i would checkout ultraedit its what i use.

use windows to map and ftp to your network places, then just open in through file->open, then when you save it saves it to the server through mapped ftp drive.
