The latest milestone version of Eclipse (3.1 M2) has fixed a lot of the FTP issues. I haven't used it extensively, but I have been able to connect to an FTP server and synchronize a project with a remote site which is more than you used to be able to do. I plan on looking at the FTP/RDS aspect of cfeclipse in the not too distant future.

Yeah, I can't promise anything on the wysiwyg front. We're not setting out to be a wyswyg tool, so that area probably won't get a whole lot of attention in the near future if at all. > > I have to say, I did find myself desperate for the to do list/notepad > functionality from eclipse in DWMX the other day.
