Looking for a Small and Free Text Editor
-
I've been using UltraEdit[^] for some time now as my main tool for updating my website remotely, but I have a small team now that are also interested in using a tool to aid in updating the website but they can not afford UltraEdit themselves. Does anyone know of a free alternative to UltraEdit? The main feature that I'm looking for is the ability to open a document via FTP, and when you "save" it uploads the new version to the ftp site. If you have a favorite, or know of one that might fit the bill, can you let me know? Thanks! : Dean 'Karnatos' Michaud

Being a software engineer, I have no problem getting the $$ to snag a copy of UltraEdit myself, but I dunno if they even have after-school jobs themselves. By the time they seem to spend on IRC, I am guessing they don't however! Yeah, HomeSite is a nice tool too, but the goal for me was to get a cheap-yet-functional tool for the job. Most of the guys volunteering on the site just bought UE too, because it *is* cheap. Might not be the best tool, but bang-for-your-buck-wise, it works great! : Dean 'Karnatos' Michaud

Notepad. :rolleyes::-D:laugh: Actually, I believe there is a Windows port of Emacs. Not sure where to get it, but I bet a Google search of Emacs will pop something up. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Hey, not a bad idea! It's been... ooof... years since I've used Emacs. I'll check the Win port of it to see if it'll fit their needs. My fear, though, it that it's going to be larger than it needs to be, since Emacs does do EVERYTHING! It might also be more complicated than it needs to be for the use it'll serve, we'll see. Thanks though :) : Dean 'Karnatos' Michaud

I personally use GVIM 6.1 (Vi Improved),very powerfull, free , easy customizable with scripts(there are a lot of them), plugin architecture,syntax highlighting for more than 100 languages , integration with Visual Studio,different compiler support, ole support ,powerfull regular expressions of course, blah, blah ... I gave up of using UltraEdit, I tried but VIM is much more powerfull and it's free. It don't use tabs , but you can split the windows at your wish with :sp and :vsp (split and vertical split) commands. www.vim.org[^] In the Vim editor just type :help ftp Or if you are even more hardcore than me just try emacs or xemacs ;P Cheers,Joao Vaz And if your dream is to care for your family, to put food on the table, to provide them with an education and a good home, then maybe suffering through an endless, pointless, boring job will seem to have purpose. And you will realize how even a rock can change the world, simply by remaining obstinately stationary.-Shog9

Programmers File Editor[^] is better than most of the ones you'd pay for in my humblest opinion. Check out the rating on Download.com Paul Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see - Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop

CoffeeCup FTP [^] has an enhanced text editor(HTML, perl, php), and allows you to save to remote. I've had some trouble with passive transfer, but other than that its worked just fine. $30, though. (free-30 day) BW The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to talk, mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding. - Jack Kerouac

How's that too expensive? $35 can be quite prohibitive to someone not earning dollars. $35 is R350 which is two tanks of petrol or 3 good meals for two. You can buy 3 good books for that as well. 35 lots of $35 makes up my monthly salary (before tax, car payments etc.) Also you don't want to pay $35 and then find the app is no good (refunds are never fun.) And in places like India I am sure $35 is worth even more than here.
