Hi, John. I know what you mean. I was hand-coding before I started with Dreamweaver, and I still hand-code quite a bit in its code view.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation for sync-ing local and remote copies.

Hi, Diane. I've been using Dreamweaver since it's first release date and I'm very happy with it, but now it's somewhat cumbersome for me, I'm using simple text editor with highlighting, and using Dreamweaver for sync only getting very inconvenient.

Can you suggest some app for sync local copy â†’ remote FTP?

Thanks..

Hm. I will need to check into that (the sync feature); sounds useful.

Ah, sounds like they have worked out some of the bugs then, I do get frustrated with the versions i've used seeming to take a long time to 'connect' to the server before actually uploading. once it's done that, it seems fine.

The sync facility is quite good too, being able to compare local and remote folders, and to even work directly on the remote files, if you really want to.

Hi Adrian (nice to see you!).

I hadn't ever tried it before, but I find, strangely enough, that the upload is *very* fast, perhaps even faster than WS_FTP 9.01 Professional. I've been pleasantly surprised, and even grateful for Macromedia's taking the one extra step out of the way.

Cool feature eh Diane? :D
I've been using it on MX and MX2004 for a while and it's generally pretty good. I do get problems with it communicating with the server as quickly as I'd like at times, even to the extent that I'd have an FTP client open as well when its really bad.

Generally good though, perhaps they've ironed out a few bugs in version 8.
