Just got a new build of PS 4.0 Beta. Pretty cool new feature: the FTP Explorer. You click on the connect button in the FTP toolbar and create, manage or open a connection:
You get a new FTP view window, right in the tabs along with your other documents.
From here you have full access to your remote file system.
Double clicking on a file will download it to a temp directory and open it. But that’s not what you really want to do. Instead, right click on a file for options, including “Open in PrimalScript”:
And there it is:
Editing and saving the file at this point will actually update the remote version. You can already do this in PrimalScript 3.1 through the File/FTP menu, but this is much better.
Also, the FTP view functions as a fairly adequate general purpose FTP program, allowing you to drag and drop files to and from the remote server from Explorer, Desktop, etc. If you are like me and have your editor open up 24/7, it can be pretty handy to have the FTP view sitting there ready to use.
Nice, I’ve always used the Open Remote and Save As Remote options in EditPlus, and loved’em. Glad to hear PS have implemented this so nicely. I’ve been working more with PS/MTASC solutions lately, I’ve been mostly avoiding that since the hype begun. I have to say it’s growing on me pretty quickly 🙂
