Online editing tool

Pulse8

Hello,

I have been working freelance for quite a while now. I am about to go travelling for a few months. Problem is, my clients will need some updates/changes done in this time. Since I am not taking my laptop, I do not have the tools I need.

What I am wondering is, is there a tool that I can install on my server so I can edit files in a browser window. I need a tool like this to act as my text editor.

Anyone know of a tool like this?

Cheers!

Would FTP/Notepad suffice? Or isn't there an FTP server?

Im not sure, I will be using computers from internet cafes etc. So they would need an FTP client (if worst comes to worst I could use windows' client argh)

Would be good to have it all on my server though

Ah, I see what you mean. Maybe you could make a PHP form (which uses passwords) that simply allowed you to open any file on the server in a <textarea> box and edit it and save it like that?

It shouldn't take too long to knock up, I could write it for you myself If you like.

Edit:
You would have to be sure to pick a good password, maybe use 2 or three to stop anyone guessing their way through.

Sounds like a whole lotta work. Could probably install Webmin or something. Optimal thing you could do is put PuTTy on a floppy disk, and just take it with you.
