Hey everyone. Im new to the site, and to macs. I just got an iBook for chrismas and have been wholly impressed with almost everything about it.
Just a few problems though....
Im a web developer, so i've been looking for a good ftp program to work on my websites. I bougt a program called "fetch" which seemed good. When i use ftp on my websites, i normally open the file on the spot (as a temp file), edit the file, then save changes and upload it back to the server. Fetch doesnt seem able to do this.
When i open a file using tex edit plus (the only text editor that seems compatable with fetch) the text is all garbled (because its in UXIX encoding) so im forced to go "tools > quick cleanup > UNIX to Mac" every time i open a file! Then when im done editing the file, i am not presented with the option of uploading back to the server, rather, i am forced to save it to my hard drive then re-upload manually. Thats not cool when editing countless files.
So i figure I should use a Virtual PC. Unfortuantly even though my iBook is the brand new 1.33ghz model, its not strong enough to run XP in a Virtual PC (at least not at a useable speed). When in XP, i right click on "my comuter" then select properties and it shows less then 300mhz clock speed.
So if any of you mac users/web developers could help me out by either recommending a good ftp/text editor combo, or some tips on improving VPC performance, id really appreciate it
