What ftp do you handcoders use?

[Darran]

I used Dreamweaver for my coding, switched from textedit because it was getting very messy with the number of files I open.

And then there is Cyberduck for my FTP, works flawlessly.

Doesn't Dreamweaver have it's own FTP like old GoLive (shudders) used to?

Yes Dreamweaver does have FTP. I'm a switcher from Dreamweaver to Coda myself.

You also think impending doom is 2 years away. Your perspective on most things appear to be a bit off.

FAILS!

It's not "doom" but CHANGE! I'm a "peaknik" not a doomer. (For definitions, see my page on Peakniks, Doomers, and Collapse. Don't forget, I've been going on about the oil thang since it was $50 a barrel. Saw this year's $110 coming about 4 years ago. )

Anway, when Ben Bernanke can bring himself to say the "R" word — something is up.

hrmm a peaknik sounds like a nagging wife to me.

Can't get into it too much cause we'll get OT.

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyy off thread.

So my original point stands:

Surely coda is only for the pro's and Dreamweaver "breaks down" some of the more advanced functions of web designers into a GUI for the dummies that can't code, myself being a supreme example?

DreamWeaver "breaks down" alright... mostly in the areas of good coding practices and ease of use (yes, I know it's designed to simplify the task instead of making it harder, but I've found it really does make some things harder, particularly if you try to do them the correct way). Certainly if you try to hand code in DreamWeaver, it only really gets in the way. Plus it's slow.

I'd like a product like Coda or Smultron that has it's own FTP built-in like DreamWeaver, so that you can auto-upload files when you save them. I use Transmit sometimes to do that, but it's just editing the remote file and saving, not saving a local copy at the same time. I want to be able to save to both places when I make changes.
