Direct FTP program

[Anon]

what you guys use to edit the html/php/cgi in the server ?
I want to know the good program that allow us to edit that files directly to the server.
So no need to us to uploading the files everytime we make a changes.

SSH + Vi or Emacs works great🙂

On Win32, EditPlus has a built-in ftp routine which will load and save files from your ftp acount. This maybe what you're thinking of, but it's essentially the same as downloading the files with an ftp client, editting them locally, then re-upping them.

The only real way to edit files directly a remote server is via SSH, Telnet, or VNC. It's unlikely a host will give you VNC and I personally wouldn't trust a host which allows for telnet access.... way too insecure and easily hacked. That loops us back to line 1 of this post.........

Kinda dangerous to modify running code on the fly isn't it? Why not run a local copy for dev/test purposes (Apache or BadBlue for instance under Windows)? Then upload only the changed files once you've got everything working?
