Can you point me an FTP client for Windows that can list directories with image thumbnails? Also if it would do text editing directly on files would be nice.

Unless you have very special server support, you can't generate the thumbnails or edit the files without first downloading them. FTP doesn't allow you to do this as part of the protocol. WinSCP is a decent client, though one of many which allows you to Right Click->Edit text files, though it's simply automating the process of downloading the file, launching your editor, and then re-uploading the file when you're done. If you're trying to work on a 100MB text file, you'll still have to wait for the entire file to download and upload. If you need to work with large text files or need to edit them directly on the server for some reason, your best bet would be to see if you can get ssh access and edit them on the command line with If you want thumbnails of all images in a directory, either download all of the images and let your OS create the thumbnails of the local copies (defeats the purpose if you're trying to pick which ones to download), or find a way to upload a php, perl, or other script to generate the thumbnails and make them available through a webserver. This will possibly require ssh to execute the script if you can't get access to a webserver. | |||

GNOME's default file manager (Nautilus) can do this if you enable thumbnail creation for remote files (that of course means it has to download all images first to create the thumbnails - maybe not what you want). | |||
