you'll have FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, Samba and more).
* Powerful search and replace, allowing POSIX and Perl Compatible
regular expressions and sub-pattern replacing.
* Open multiple files at once from a directory based on extension
or contents.

expressions, with subpattern support and default patterns for
different programming languages.
