Hi:
My ISP is in the process of changing all hosted web pages to a secure
server that uses FTPS (FTP over TLS or SSL) but I can't find anyplace to
select these in SeaMonkey 2.24 Composer. It that possible or do I need
to change to some other web page editor, and if so any suggestions on a
reasonable priced alternative?
As the others have said, Composer is a no-longer-supported part of
SeaMonkey. Do NOT expect it to work well nor to have it updated. It
won't be.
You need to move into the 20th century. Well, okay, the 21st century
even.
Get a stand-alone FTP program. There are free ones (mentioned in
other answers.) Learn to use it.
And, unless your use of Composer is anything more than very casual and
just for you, you'd better go buy a good book on HTML and CSS and
start learning. Your use of Composer is rooted in mid-1990's Web
development. It won't cut it today.
Frankly, I wish Composer would be stripped out of SeaMonkey. It's an
abommination that should be banished from the earth.
All it does is cause problems.
Did you not feel that it is there to permit to compose a mail in an html
format.
I know that this composer is old, but, when i compose a VERY SIMPLE web
page, it's wonderful.
To be honest I'm not sure if the HTML mail compose function is tied to
Composer. What I'm talking about is using Composer to create Web/HTML
pages. Back in 1995 it might have been okay but it hardly produces
well-made code by today's accepted standards.
For instance, it defaults to a transitional DOCTYPE and not even a
complete one at that. And you can't change it within Composer. If you
do change it to strict DOCTYPE you'll find the code won't pass validation.
If you have to rely on a WYSIWYG editor move to either Kompozer (not
actively being developed) or Blue Griffon. Both are derived from Nvu
(discontinued) which was derived from Composer. Blue Griffon is the
most up-to-date of all of them.

Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
