+1 folks recommending version control and not editing files directly on the remote machine.
Additionally, FTP is quite insecure since you are sending login/ password in the clear for a user privileged to write files on your remote machine. However, people have reasons for doing this and if you'd like to continue to do so here are some options. For people who have recommended Vim/gVim/MacVim, most newer versions include netrw http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075 which offers the ability to read/write to remote resources over a variety of protocols. For people who use Emacs, you can use TRAMP mode to edit remote resources http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode For those applications that don't provide a way to edit remotely located files, people can use SSHFS on OS X and *nix systems. http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html which has been ported to os X. Google will turn up several results on getting sshfs set up on your particular OS (OS X, *nix). -- Ali Asad Lotia On Feb 8, 8:30 pm, Karen McNeil <karenlmcn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have three Django sites that I've been working on recently and I've > been doing most of the development work in Dreamweaver.
