Text editors

[Paul Weaver]

Are there any text editors, prefereably GUI based, that can open and save directly to ftp - save having to sync the files?

Failing that, anyway of doing something along the lines of "mount -t ftp ftp://user :pass@host.com/dir /mnt/foo"?

you can run vim from command line OR gui (gvim for gui).

just to be objective, i'm sure you could do something similar with emacs as well.

:p

I've not used it myself, but emacs' ange-ftp mode allows that, and is very well tested.

(is this a programming question? you might get better responses in another forum.)

Not strictly a programing question, I was in that frame of mind as the files I'm editing are java & html files :) Guess I'll have to go back to vim, just getting used to kwrite too :roll:

That does give me an idea about using a perl script to ftp the files up and down though...
