Perhaps this isn't the proper thing to ask the Stack Overflow community, but I can't think of a better place to ask.

Can anyone suggest a free text editor for the Mac that allows for FTP

I currently use Text Wrangler, and recently started using Coda (which I love), but my free trial is ending on Coda. Anyone have good ones?

  • You can use lftp with the EDITOR variable set properly.

    I've never understood: why do you want FTP in your text editor? There are programs (and command line utilities) that do FTP well already. Choose a text editor for its text-editing features; FTP separately.

  • I'm not overly happy with TextWrangler's interface. And I don't FTP separately because I'm not an expert at command line FTP utilities, and it is much nicer to use interface sides.

  • emacs, unsurprisingly, has FTP support built-in.

Use a GUI FTP client such as Cyberduck or Transmit.

Editors and FTP clients on Mac OS X are usually well integrated, allowing you to edit files "directly on the server" when initiating the edit in your editor from the FTP client.
