By "kind of connection" do you mean SSL? I can use telnet; I could "connect to server"; I can connect with Fetch or Transmit (and Fetch lets me issue FTP commands). But then what? How does that integrate with BBEdit? I still don't get it. In BBEdit, setting up a "repository" seems to allow only for browsing to a local folder on my Mac. Is there some way for me to use BBEdit to co-edit source on a remote site? That's what I need. Working alone, I often use BBEdit's FTP browser to access my site, download several files, edit, preview, and then save to FTP again when I am done. I use another program (Interarchy) to mirror the site on my local hard drive, and it will download copies of everything I've modified. Now that a second person will also be editing files on the site, I'd like to be able to use BBEdit to access those files but somehow using CVS to play traffic cop between me and my co-worker in Vegas. I THOUGHT that was what the CVS menu in BBEdit was for, but apparently not. She has suggested I look into obtaining a CVS client program, use that to download what I need, and then switch to BBEdit for the editing. Is that my best approach? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Scripts for OE and Entourage: <http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/AppleScripts_For_You> Entourage questions: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
