Does anyone know of an Text Editor that will allow you to "directly" edit a file from the ftp server. Windows has a few of these including PSpad ( www.pspad.com ) and I just got an ibook and I do a lot of web development so it would be nice to have an editor with this ability.

Thank you!

if you haven't already, download cyberduck ftp and SubEthaEdit code editor (both free)

setup cyberduck for whatever ftp accounts you use, and then set in the prefs to use SubEthaEdit as your text editor.

once you're connected to your ftp account, you can set (in prefs) a double click on a file to launch it in your code editor (SEE). make your changes and then save it. it's saved back tot eh ftp server and updated online.

works great.
 
Emacs also does this just fine through its efs module or tramp.el.

And it is free.

And it comes with OS X.

Do you know a good resource to learn how to use emacs? I've never been able to actually do anything with it when I've opened it.
 
transmit does exactly this, and wonderfully simple. it is shareware, but not too expensive, and you might even use it for a limited time when you trial has gone overdue..

do a search on versiontracker.com for transmit, and you'll find it.
