The only reason not to end MS is the money my wifehas made and is making on their stock. Once I get scribus understood and working to replace my publisher stuff I will only need to set up a web server and test environment for the webpage I support. It runs on a Linux sever and will be easier to support from Linux. Are their any good FTP programs you know of?
To be honest, the best "ftp program" I've found is Konqueror. just enter ftp://user:password@domain.com, and you'll be logged in, and be able to open files via a "virtual file system." Konq treats the FTP connection almost the same as if you had the files stored locally on your system.
This also works in numerous KDE programs that bring up a file requestor. Want to open a comma-separated file in OOo's spreadsheet app? File > Open > ftp://user:pw:domain.com, browse to file, open, make changes, save... It goes right back on the server.
I used to use gftp all the time until I found out about using Konqueror as an FTP client.
Steve Thanks Steve, I'll try that. What I'm trying to do is develop and update webpages on my system, then transfer them to the ISP that runs our webpage. In the past I used Personnel Webserver on WinME to test developed pages. Then FTP to transfer them to the ISP Server anfter making mods to allow for the fact the ISP ran a version of Linux. Now I plan to install a server for testing under SUSE, then FTP the completed pages and updates. Is Apache the right server to install for testing.
