Hey all,

When you're forced by circumstance to work with a web site which only has
FTP access (no ssh or anything friendly) what do you typically work with?
Right now I've got gftp open, I download a file, edit it locally with vim,
save and upload again. Unfortunately, this seems terribly klugey. (it
takes a long time switching back and forth, sometimes I forget to upload a
file before I refresh the web browser, etc. etc.) There's got to be a
better way.

I've heard rumours that you can edit files remotely using vim, but
:e ftp://someserver/path/to/file.php

just sits there for a minute and then opens a blank file.


So what do /you/ guys do when stuck in such a terrible position?
