You played around with it for a day, and you're telling someone who's used it for several months that you think he's wrong... > RDS seems to have been replaced (and this is from memory) > with something that's actually more like FTP.

No. If you ask to edit a remote file, it opens up your local copy. If you choose to "Get" it, you can. There are only two copies of the file. Btw there are a lot of people who would say that editing a file on a remote server is a bad idea...! Can't think why... Honestly...

The only thing I really want from Studio is it's stability. Everything else on DWMX is fine by me! Paul PS the reason I don't use Homesite+ is because it's not CFStudio. It doesn't have everything studio had. I don't own a copy of CFStudio (I was a partner, but you're not allowed to use Partner software for development), so I can't use that. -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
