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!

well.. i was going to just tell you textwrangeler does it for free, with support for FTP & SFTP.. but the rest of the class told you that.

Even so... you can't just keep a copy on your local machine, and view it through local apache, and then upload when you're happy? (I've done both- sometimes it's just not worth keeping the local copy :)

Oh-- and what I was really going to say: Check out MacFusion. (it's fuse for mac, with a nice gui, and adds r/w FTP & SFTP.
