Thanks dood. The bluefish interface was a little confusing at first, but after I read what you said about setting up a local location via ‘places’ it was easy as pie!!

Good tool to use but Quanta plus is also good, for me nothing new in bluefish.

Well, if you need FTP access which is more similar to what DW does try Quanta+. It’s expecially useful when working on big project on localhost, you can just tell Quanta to upload to your FTP whatever has been changed et voilà! Remote update done automagically

thanks, that helped me choose bluefish. jedit is a good solution as well, but is slow and has somethimes a strange behaviour. it tool me some time to figure out where a ftp-server is mounted to. it’s in your home directory under .gvfs!

I disagree on the BlueFish ftp being better than DW. The great thing about the DW FTP is that you can *simultaneously* have a local directory and a remote directory listed. When you are done coding/testing locally or in a remote testing environment you can upload to the FTP server with just a click. I’ve looked at nearly 20 apps just today and not a single one of them comes close to this, what I consider, essential, time-saving feature of DW. This one seemingly simple feature is all I ask from an HTML/PHP IDE…yet only one seems to have it. Would love to find an opensource option that does it, but for now it’s DW running in Wine…..
