Free Alternative to Dreamweaver in Aptana

Posted by: scoopseven 13 years ago

I've finally given up on Dreamweaver.  Too many times it's locked up on me and refuses to open.  I've had to rename my local source folders, find hidden xml files to delete cache, etc, etc. Too much time wasted to use an editor that isn't that great to begin with.  The one thing that's held me to it was the remote capabilities with RDS and FTP. No more.

You can download Aptana (Full Version) and download the CFEclipse plugin for Coldfusion syntax highlighting. It supports remote access through FTP and SSH as well as upload on save. No more Cmd+Shift+U (or whatever it is) to upload your file when you're done.  There doesn't seem to be a good way to auto-download on open from a remote connection, but there's a decent enough remote browser to allow you to download whatever you need from within the app should you need a local copy.
