[...] that includes blog post drafts. Yes, even this one. I was particularly grateful for this when my Macbook died last week, and I had to work on an old PC for a few days- all my documents were accessible, online, on Google [...]

I use WS-FTP, but was interested in goFTP. A quick search indicated that the free version of goFTP appends links in html and php files and there is no mention of this on the site.

I hate to be cynical, be you get what you pay for. As much as I don’t trust big corporations, I don’t trust these small companies – who knows what they put into their software. With established companies, the software is used enough that someone will find a problem and the company has to address it.

Still, it’s good for quick and dirty jobs, such as notebook breakdowns and if you’re not sending htmlish files.

I use Filezilla too – it has a great interface, and I’d trust Mozilla more, but I have problems with some firewalls.

Remember Adobe has 30-day Windows trials of most Creative Suite programs, so you could always download the 30 day trials if you need to work with them on a temporary PC.

Also, for FTP I’d recommend FileZilla for FTP, or if you want something integrated you could try FireFTP for Firefox.

FileZilla is in my eyes one of the best ftp clients out there. Fast and comfortable.

Thanks, Calitoe- I will check out Total Commander. Nice name

Adrian- I actually did try FileZilla, but preferred the “smallness” of GoFTP. I hadn’t heard of PS Pad or Aptana Studio, so thanks- I’ll try those out!

Well, I think you missed some much better solutions.
The big one being your FTP. FileZilla, is choice. I use it on OS X and XP.

The Editor is a good choice but would recommend PS Pad.
I am actually just trying out Aptana Studio, so I can hopefully use the same editor on OS X and XP.

I always work with Gimp and Notepad++ as you mentioned, but I use Total Commander as FTP and file managing solution.
