Looking for an html prog with ftp access...

I really need a good HTML editor that can connect to an FTP account. If anyone has BBedit, they'd know what I'm talking about. My 30-Day trial expired for the program, and it's not cheap to buy. But the thing is, the only feature I really wanted is the FTP access. I downloaded BBedit lite, but it's essentially useless to me. So now I find myself having to -
1. Download an html file off my site for editing using a seperate FTP program.
2. Opening BBedit Lite and editng it.
3. Reuploading the edited file.
4. Delete the html file on my desktop.

Now this becomes very annoying and tiresome. I really loved being able to choose 'Open from FTP' and 'Save to FTP' on BBedit.

So basically, I'm looking for any html program that can connect to webspace, and open and save files from it. I'd prefer it to be free, but i'd pay $15 at max. I don't need some big complex auto-tasking program, I just need one that can do what I want. Or maybe there's a way to connect BBedit lite to web space (I very much doubt...)?

Thx for anyone who provides a link to good software, I appreciate it.
 
Ok... I guess no one has a program or no one even cares... if not a program, then maybe a way I could connect in a different way? I'd use the Finder's FTP thing, but it's read only which is no good...
 
Go to www.versiontracker.com and look for an FTP client called "Transmit." Cheap registration, the unregistered version does everything I need right now so I haven't bothered to register it yet.

It doesn't sound like you want to spend a whole lot of money otherwise you would have bought Dreamweaver and we wouldn't be having this convo now would we?

What are you using now? I'm just curious to see what would be a significant move up for you. You can try Pepper liite or demo version which has HTML syntax highlighting but it's all text editing not WYSIWYG HTML editing.

Mozilla and Netscape web browsers have "Composer" built in which does offer WYSIWYG editing.
 
I've used transmit before but I don't remember a built in html editor...

Right now i'm using BBedit lite to edit files, and RBrowser Lite to upload them.
 
I used BBedit as long as i could upload the pages with ftp with it (then the server changed, can't do it anymore).

For ftp, i'd suggest RBrowser Lite. If they ask an email addy to register it, don't use your main account (i have doubts of knowing a source of many spams). But the Lite version itself works fine and does what it promises and is free.

Other than BBedit i've tried .. LaTeX, Taco HTML editor, some other html editors i forgot the name of ... well, you can always vi with the terminal and then upload the files...
