the simplest text editor on Mac OS XWhich text editor(s) on the following two lists are the simplest GUI-based text editor? Cyberduck 3.0.3 Doesn't Support TextEdit Fugu 1.2.0 Doesn't Support TextEdit When I say simple, I means simple like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac OS X, Mousepad on Linux, Kedit on KDE, DTPad on Solaris, and Cyno's Editor on Java. Please let me know. Thanks. Chieh Cheng I use text editor...writeroom too. Paul here's how you get textedit to work with fugu... possibly similar with cyberduck. did you read my note about using MacFUSE and MacFusion? They allow you to mount your remote directories locally over ssh. So much simpler. a lot of people swear by bbedit and textmate, but they are not free. textwrangler is free from the maker of bbedit, but not as feature rich. gnowk I need to connect to remote web hosting servers to update files, write software, etc. Like changing the templates on Cirqo. Thanks for your help. I hacked Fugu. Although it let me load up the remote file in TextEdit, saving the file only changes the local copy. It doesn't update the remote version. So it's pretty much useless to me. I had my doubts about Macfusion at first. Because I thought maybe there would be problems if I try to mount a connection to a remote web hosting server. But after trying it out, it seemed to work . . . if the remote server didn't time out first. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. Only thing that I can nitpick on is that it won't remember the last directory I was in. But I guess that's the way Finder works with hard drives. Chieh Cheng you can probably tweak the ssh options to be more lax with timeouts... as for remembering the last accessed paths, there isn't a way. but you can just set up symlinks or have macfusion mount a specific path. gnowk As of today, I have given up on all Mac SCP solutions. They all suck; including MacFusion, because it doesn't support proxy redirection. So I have gone with installing WinSCP on top of CrossOver (thanks, gnowk, for notifying us of the free CrossOver offer). So far, it's working well. I'm forced to use the non-object-oriented Norton Command interface, rather using it with Windows Explorer (there is no Windows Explorer on Mac OS X). But it'll do. Chieh Cheng I am not familiar with using proxy redirection over scp. I assume you don't mean ssh tunneling. Can you elaborate? gnowk It's the same as setting a proxy in a browser. WinSCP allows you to set a proxy. Chieh Cheng SOCKS proxy? gnowk WinSCP supports Socks4, Socks5, HTTP, and Telnet proxies. I use HTTP. Chieh Cheng not sure if it will work, but try the global proxy settings in System Preferences System Preferences => Network => Advanced => Proxies => Configure Proxies => Manually gnowk Thanks. That's already set. Chieh Cheng so you can't use that? gnowk can't use what? Chieh Cheng the proxy setting in system preferences for your proxy redirection problem. gnowk proxy setting seems to work, but MacFusion doesn't seem to work with it. Chieh Cheng ahh... it looks like it can be done... just not very user friendly. Ssh through a proxy from your Apple Mac OS X macfusion should work after this, you might or might not have to tell macfusion to use your ~/.ssh/config gnowk What are you trying to do? What's Macfusion? It said something about letting you work with files over the Internet. sarcast Macfusion is a GUI frontend for a program called macfuse (which in turn is a port of fuse for os x) that allows you to mount a remote file system as if it were a local drive. Traditionally, this is done using Appletalk, NFS, SAMBA, etc., but these protocols usually run within a closed network. Fuse made it possible to do this over the internet. Chieh's trying to do this from behind a firewall (i presume), which requires additional work. gnowk
