editing files on an FTP server

[yesthattom]

I need a better way to edit files on my web sites that are hosted at services that only support ftp. I am on a Mac. The download-edit-upload cycle sucks. Yes, I've automated it and it still sucks. I even use CyberFrogFTP and that does the download-edit but I have to save then click upload then check to see if the files it selected are right blah blah blah. Mac's FTPFS is read-only. Any tips? This is SO FING FRUSTRATING!

I think there are FUSE filesystems for FTP. I would imagine that would allow you to connect to your FTP site as a filesytem and edit them like they were local.

Do you know that it supports read/write operations or are you just guessing?

I checked, fuseftp does.
