i'm trying to migrate my web development to openbsd from winxp where

dreamweaver: a
WYSIWYG interface, SFTP file transfers and code coloring. is this
too
much to ask for?
i have installed the bluefish package on a post-3.9 current machine
and that works fine, but i can't figure out how to use SFTP to
transfer site
files to and from a remote server.
sftp is like ssh and scp: use the command line. Can you be more
specific on how this is failing you?
it isn't that it's failing me so much as i don't appear to have the
same option
as i do under dreamweaver in this regard. you can check out/in a
site using SFTP
under dreamweaver when you're working on a webserver that is
remote. this way,
you needn't make manual use of SFTP to upload individual files or
get the most
recent files you've checked in. i'm not too keen on having to
manually do these
transfers since it wastes time.
also, there a number of packages and configuration changes i've
made to the
webserver that the code is supposed to run on, making it
inconvenient to
replicate such a setup on the local machine where i'm coding.

Actually, in any of the kde programs I've used on OpenBSD since 3.7
(including Quanta) you just enter [s]ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/file
in the location bar of the Save or Open dialog box, and it'll do the
right thing. That behavior may have been there before, that's just
when I noticed it.
