Hi Apple fans !
It's my first post in this Forum because I just bought a Macbook and I'm just starting to play with it.
I was curious to see what OSX would offer me since I've been a Linux fan for the past 6 years.
As a Web developper, what strikes me the most is the lack of integration of FTP/SFTP into Finder. My daily job requires me to edit tens of files on live servers (small modifications), so I must be able to log on to the servers and directly edit the files (not download via an FTP client, edit, re-upload with the FTP client).
Also, I'm used to working from home and all my office files are on my office server, well...at the office. Therefore, I need to explore my office files as if they were in my computer, not having to download them first before viewing/editing them.
Does anybody know why Apple decided to not include the SFTP protocol in their Finder, and also why FTP is accepted but only as a readonly connection ?
Thanks !
Alex
P.S. It's so far the only complaint I've got, besides maybe the terminal that's less powerful than my Linux boxes but that shall be discussed in another thread !
