Much
appreciated Bob,
Perhaps I haven't explained myself properly, but I don't quite think you
understand exactly what I want to accomplish.
Lets
start at the end, with the result I am looking for:
Windows has Explorer UI to browse folders, from within this explorer UI I
can double click and run the file in its native application
e.g. a
"*.doc" file will open in the Microsoft Word application, "*.psd" will open in
Adobe Photoshop and so on.
I also
want to be able to save files back to the FTP site without having to manually
transfer these files across, or at least with out much
difficulty.
My aim
is to allow my remote staff to be able to connect to my FTP site and use the
site in the same manor as when they are on the office LAN.
The
question is how I can accomplish this? We use WS FTP Server (excellent program)
here and that is why I have thought along the lines of FTP access, but should I
even be using FTP?
Many
thanks,
Brenden
Brenden,
UltraEdit-32 is a
VERY CAPABLE text/hex editor which I find convenient for maintining any sort
of software source code, e.g. html, asp, jsp, php, Perl, etc. UltraEdit's
author, Ian D. Mead (the "IDM" of IDM Computer Solutions, Inc.) is totally
dedicated to making this product the best it can be. It's unbeatable in its
price range, a real bargain if what you need is a good text/hex editor and/or
replacement for Windows Notepad, and yes, it can open and edit a file remotely
using an FTP connection. Highly recommended.

Thank you Mike,
UltraEdit-32, as far as I am aware its just a text/HEX
editor.
I'm after something that will open a file in its native application
e.g. *.doc opens in MS Word.
I
want to have the client behave as if the files I'm viewing are just like
browsing my local disk.
Many Thanks,
Brenden Miller
Ooopps, I mean Ultraedit from IDM Computer Solutions, Inc. I did
get the web site correct (www.ultraedit.com).

It sounds like you want Ultraedit from Ipswitch Software (www.ultraedit.com). You start the
editor, click Open From FTP, edit the file, and finish with close or save.
File stays on the server. Can't beat the price and the
functionality.

Hi
all,
I have a (hopefully)
simple question on ftp client software.
I need an FTP client that
lets me open, edit and save files back to the FTP in one go, just like if
you ran it locally.
I've set up FTP (WS FTP server) access to our
fileserver for remote staff but you know how hopeless end users are. I cant expect them
to download file, edit as they wish and then have them upload
it.
The process
is far to long for them.
>From what I've found the
closest is Cute FTP client. It lets you run the file over the FTP
connection. It does this in the background downloading the file to a temp
directly and running it from there. But if you try and save the file it
points back to the local folder. Its half way there.
I wonder if WS FTP Pro could do the
whole thing. I see that there is an SDK available so does anyone know if
this has been created.
So in short I need a FTP client that
behaves like Windows Explorer folders, it opens files and saves files with
out appearing to download them and the hassle of uploading them.
I
hope you get what I mean.
I really appreciate any help on
this.
Thanks,
Brenden
