Re: FN-FORUM: Extension-less files in Dreamweaver

Cheers Tony. I use Filezilla on Windows machine (there is a severe
lack of FTP GUI's for Linux from what I can see BTW) and it has the
same sort of feature. Though I wouldn't say it integrates with a text
editor - it allows you to open a file in any editor and then just
monitors the temporary file for changes and uploading as appropriate.
It'd be nice to have it all in one app though. :-) Ctrl+S, Alt+Tab, F5
is nice and quick to see changes.
