Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Yeah, when I first realized that I could install a command-line program for ftp that had many useful features was a great day for me.
Now, of course, I open up my Terminal once a week at the most (and that's usually just to run "cal" because i'm too lazy to open a GUI calendar program. If I install Tiger on this laptop, the dashboard calendar will remove even that need.) But once, I was truly a geek. Once.
I did not know IE had its own FTP business. Just, you type ftp.blahblah.com into the URL space?
To answer the question for the record, the syntax is
ftp://ftp.blahblah.com
While we're on the subject, is there anything remotely like HTML Kit (which is my one-stop solution for editing and FTPing shit) for the Mac? Because man, I miss HTML Kit, and I hate having to go to the basement to use it.
Is HTML kit just a nice text editor with FTP access? Cuz, if so, I believe TextWrangler can do that.
If it's more than that, well, I am completely not of the knowing. Sorry.
I use SecureFX cause I could get it from MIT for free and because some sites I use require Secure FTP connections.

I use Fugu for the same reason. Except for the MIT part.
When you open the program do you exclaim "Fugu Me!!"?
Sometimes, it's more like "Fugu you!!"
My Mom's computer is dying. I've backed up all her critical files - which took up about 30 megs (profile from her email and browser, plus some very small word processing files.) Basically she does e-mail, very light browsing and the very occasional light internet use.
So we need to get her something for comparatively modest needs. Price is important, so we don't want overkill - but we don't want slow as molasses either. Any thoughts?
Thanks
