If by ftp, there are a lot of tools that can manage that. If by webdav, then at least Quanta+ works. Screem appears to work as well, but I'm not as fond of the Screem interface. I don't know if any of the WYSIWYG page editors work with webdav. Speaking of WYSIWYG page editors, there are at least three that I know of. NVU - see www.nvu.com Mozilla Composer - see www.mozilla.org OpenOffice Writer/Web - see www.openoffice.org That said, I don't like any of them. In particular, the handling of <div></div> is very poor. At best, you'll get absolutely positioned divisions which is a bane for liquid designs. Also, they generate at best transitional HTML (not strict or XHTML). The end result is sloppy (possibly non-compliant) HTML that may not work the same in all browsers. I alternate between Bluefish and jEdit. Neither are WYSIWYG. Just my opinion . . . . -- Mark Eggers <mdeggers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
