Software recommendations

[JarredLv]

I tried doing a search, but FTP is too short for the filters. I'm looking for a decent free FTP and Editor (preferably non WYSIWYG). Was curious what folks here use....

Hell, why I'm here. Any other software that you use that has helped make your AM life easier?

you should totally get notepad or vi (for linux). It hardly ever crashes

for FTP, try this one:
FireFTP - The Free FTP Client for Mozilla Firefox

fireftp and nvu (HTML editor)

Filezilla is pretty solid as well too. I moved from SmartFTP after they changed from freeware to feeware.

coreftp = the shit

I use Filezilla, worked from day 1, haven't changed.

Thanks for the FireFTP recommendation. I love that! Works great.

And I grabbed nvu, haven't had the chance to actually edit with it, but it seems to be just what I was looking for.

I use notepad++ and it's ftp plugin

CTRL + S saves and uploads whatever you are editing directly to the site. It fits my workflow perfectly

Fireftp is cool, but I like Filezilla better.
(There was something that I could not do with FireFTP, but I can't remember what it was. Also, it was a few versions back.)

Filezilla is pretty solid as well too.

I've been using filezilla for years (7 of them I think) and have transferred my settings to multiple computers with no data loss and no bugs that I've noticed.

Couldn't ask for a better product.

PSPad for php/mysql+ftp for me.

I dun use FtpSoftware becoz i always see failed words out. Dunno why. So i go to public html and upload it myself. Usually in a zipped file

On Windows, I use LeechFTP. You need to edit somewhere else, though.

I remember a thread a while ago regarding checklist (to do) software. Anyone have a link to that thread or recommendations for software like that?

I like the built-in FTP in PSPad better than NotePad++ for editing html/css/php/etc. For uploading non text files I use FlashFXP.
