"The Aptana plug-in provides a nice file view with FTP/SFTP. You can get FTP from several other packages, but that's the best one I think. It also provides automated FTP synch support which is a pain to get set-up but does work pretty well. "
It very well could have changed by now but when I switched over this was my last hold up and while it did ftp you had to ftp up the entire directory every time and it was really a pita especially if you had more than 1 site. "In what sense?" "I'll admit that it's easy enough for a mom but what capabilities does it lack that a "pro tool" would have? I'm curious because I'm a sometimes beta tester for the suite and this is the kind of question that gets asked. " To me it is kinda like dw compared to eclipse, it has some nice features but there is too much "hand holding" in it for me and what I really noticed was that if you didn't use their pre-made stuff it would become fairly difficult to use. Too me it was just more efficient to do it in ps. I think that ps just has more control over what you are doing but that is only good if you know what you are doing or are willing to learn. I used to like fw over ps until i really started to learn ps and then i saw why it is used, although fw still does save files better. I would like to have liked it as it is a lot cheaper but I didn't. My niece was over yesterday and she was asking me to buy her ps and i told her to try gimp or find an alternative but really they can't use anything else because that is what they are learning on. And then there are the filters and add-ons that corel can't compare with, not to mention I deal with a good chunk of my clients who send me psd & ai files to work with, I can't really have them change what they do to fit my needs. the next poster does bring up a good point with the wacom.. it also could be a dig camera, printer, etc.., adobe and corel throw free versions of those into a lot of products that you can get relatively cheaply. And lets not forget about Fireworks.. That would be what I would use after ps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:249045 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
