At work I'm working directly on a linux/apache server with EZp, via Samba, so I can use Textpad when writing templates: What I would like to do is to be able to work at home where I'm currently using Windows XP, and I'm not very interested in uploading via FTP for every little change. I've got Red Hat 9 installed aswell, but I'd rather use Textpad. Has any of you guys got any experience in working on localhost with windows, then uploading your upgraded templates to the linux/apache server? Regards Bjørn

Have you tried using wine to run textpad on linux? Maybe consider an ide that works on both systems like Eclipse. paul

I haven't tried, but I'll give it a shot. I really need Textpad to develope, because using joe, emacs or vi confuses me too much :) One problem might be that most of the sites I'm developing are optimized for Internet Explorer, but I'll see whether that'll be a problem or not. Thanks for your time! Regards Bjørn

> to the linux/apache server? yes, i used (and use) a cvs server on the linux host, and a cvs client (wincvs) on w2k for this. it adds an extra step to commit w2k-changes, and check them out in the linux-working-directory, but i don't mind because i need the versioning. for some projects, it's easier to be working on the linux hosted files directly, though. i'm also using a samba share on the linux host for this. i guess what you really want is open your work-linux-hosted files on your home-xp box. why not create another samba share for this? (you'll need to spent some time securing it, though). jeroen.

Make sure you spend a lot of time securing the setup. Samba isn't as secure as it should be, and isn't trusted by the vast majority of sysadmins I've worked with. It is extremely convenient though. So, there is always a balance. One note, you may want to see if Textpad has a way to use an SFTP (secure FTP) or SCP (secure copy) connection instead of a standard FTP connection (which isn't as secure as it should be either). I have Dreamweaver set up to use an SFTP tunnel, and while I do I have to tell it to upload, I just set up a quick keyboard command within DW, so it doesn't really slow me down much. Hopefully Textpad has a feature like this. Alex

I've been looking around, and I think I'll drop windows and try this one: http://www.jedit.org/

Cool! If you don't mind, would you post a quick note after you've used it for a while on wether or not you like it? It would be great for people to know of alternatives to some of the more popular programs. Alex

Hi Alex, I know this is off topic a bit, but samba is really good, if your worried about security try tunnelling samba thru ssh, you can then set all your pki etc for a good secure, if a little slower (with all that encryption) shared storage mechansim Try http://www.ibiblio.org/gferg/ldp/Samba-with-SSH/Samba-with-SSH.html I hope this helps tony

Thanks for the info Tony. :) I actually have my editor set up to use an SSH tunnel to allow a secure FTP connection (FTP to SFTP bridge). I hadn't thought of setting up Samba with SSH - this sounds like a convenient setup that remains secure. I'll have to try that out once I'm done with this project! Alex
