Does Smultron save to FTP?

Looks like, though it has to be done by choosing Smultron as the editor on the FTP program, I think. I quote the page:

Can I use it with my FTP-program?

Yes. You can usually decide which program should be an external editor in the FTP-programs and if you choose Smultron and then choose to open the file in the external editor it opens in Smultron, and then when you save the file in Smultron it is automatically uploaded to the FTP-site.

Yes, that's how it is with whichever exernal editor you're using with FTP.

You don't have to do that with TextWrangler (or UltraEdit). They have FTP programs embedded in them--you can either open from disc or open from an FTP site.

I love Speed Download, but it is not free. It is bombtastic though.

It does look pretty impressive.

I don't know what my priorities are--I don't know if that's the sort of thing I'd have paid for if I were liquid.

The two paid for things I had to put back on this pesky little box of mine were Bluephone Elite and Solavant Solitaire. Bless both of them for having the facility for me to re-download the full versions without going through any customer service rigmarole. Lord knows with the number of time I've had to jump through UltraEdit hoops to get it back (especially while I wasn't at the most recent version) I should have my install images locked away somewhere disasterproof.

That is pretty cool, though you could get the same effect by mounting the FTP site as a drive. Go->Connect To Server in the Finder allows this, and you could automate it (I think) by putting a symbolic link to its root folder (or www folder or whatever) in your Home or Documents or something. Then you would open it just like a folder on your drive, and if the server needed to connect it would do so. It's some seriously Unix thinking, but it would work.

Still, probably easier if it's built in to the program.

it would work

I can't even get my Leopard box to connect via SAMBA to my Linux box, so "seriously Unix thinking" is mostly an irritant right now.

Ah! Okay, it worked. Finally. Did Tiger have a "Go/Connect To Server..." option? I don't remember it.

If I create a symbolic link on the hard drive, what happens when I need to log in to an FTP/SFTP location?

probably easier if it's built in to the program.

No probably about it.

Did Tiger have a "Go/Connect To Server..." option?

I think all flavors of OS X have had it (I know for sure that Panther did, but before that... well, we've seen that I'm fuzzy on the deets of stuff I set up a while ago).

Apparently I'm fuzzy on an OS I used daily just a few weeks ago, so really, who looks bad?

I download a whole lot of stuff on webdav, ftp, and other places (e.g. rapidshare) and speed download has paid for itself over and over in ease of use.

but I understand about the not liquid part.
