Modify Web sites the easy way
If, like me, you look after various Web sites, you'll know how tedious it can be when you need to make a minor modification to a file on a web server. Download the file with ftp, modify it, and then re-upload. There are programs available that let you edit a file directly on the server but they're not cheap.
PSPad is a freeware text editor for Windows that has a built-in FTP facility, so you can edit files in place on a Web server. Once you've configured the program so that it knows the ftp username and password for your server, then opening, editing and saving a file on that server is as easy as if the file were on your local hard disk.
Although PSPad works great as a standard editor for plain text files, it also has built-in syntax highlighting for languages such as HTML, PHP and C. So if you are developing a PHP-based site, for example, and you want a perfectly capable development environment that won't break the bank, a good look at PSPad is highly recommended. Especially as it's totally free.
The program's already been downloaded more than a million times, and a new version is just around the corner, so the number of users is sure to increase as word spreads about just how useful a program it is. Freeware, All Windows versions, 3.43MB.
