found a handy tool for developing C/C++ on remote unix/linux based servers. that is, if you prefer
to work in windows ( I do, so.)
You install this babe in your normal windows system, initiate a session to your remote unix/linux servers( where your compliers and codes are), and will be able to remotely edit your codes on the server via ftp. To be able to compile remotely the server need some package installed.
you got something fairly easy to use, got rid of the vi or command line stuff, if that's what you've been using.
I found it great for working from home or remotely like when travelling. I don't particularly like microsoft technology or its windows stuff, but i'm definitely not against productivity gain. This tool is great for large scale development as it has CVS support. That's a lot of pain I could spare.
