best editor
Does anyone knows a editor witch can be used for editing file's on a remote computer such as a webserver. under windows jou have editor's that work with ftp do the excist for linux?
I need a good editor for designing webpage's thanx |
emacs is my favorite. Several people also use vim, but I hate its command interface so I never bother using it. nano is another good one. I used pico quite a bit when I was in college and its nice and simple (nano is a free implementation of pico). And yes, as far as I know all of these editors can be used for remote work.

I like vi (vim etc.) it works with any program on your system including ftp.
for example: type: $ vi junk.txt Hi there blah balh balh ~ ~ ~ :! ftp junk.txt yo_remote_sys emacs is pretty good to ... lots of people like it, I should really brush up on it. You never know what you are going to end up working with someday. http://www.physics.emory.edu/~weeks/stuff/viman.gif |
I never bothered even trying emacs, for the simple reason that the installation is ridiculously huge. Just the base package is over 3x the size of vim. Is there a reason for this?

Its all a matter of personal preference but i prefer nano over vim.

I dunno about you guys, but if i have KDE installed i'd rather use kwrite. It may open a little slower but it's very easy to use. You dont even have to have KDE running to use it. I run fluxbox and type "kwrite" into console and it opens.
thats assuming you're running X, which i think you're not now that i think about it |

i can't seem to install it do you have any idee?
Code:
[root@joris kpad-1.0]# ./configure |

Personally, I like vi/vim since it's nearly always there... |
Kaninchen, it looks like you need to install the Qt libraries on your system. If you think they are installed, then you probably have a broken or non-standard install because it can't find the libraries. What is Qt you ask? Its a GUI API for C++ and it seems that whatever you are trying to install is dependant on it. Install Qt, then try again.

My personal vote is for jEdit (www.jedit.org).
Java based (but no, it's not slow!). Syntax highlighting, and lots of other features. Can open and save files through FTP (via their plugin architecture). And, works on all OS! Best editor I've ever used. |

perhaps your distribution has some packages kde-devel qt-devel also you will need to add to your path variable in my ~/.bash_profile there are two entries for qt QTDIR= then i add to PATH $QTDIR/bin and export QTDIR so qt can find it's tools unless your distribution somehow does this for you what distribution are you using write back i will be happy to work with you more on getting this to compile cause i wrote it and created the package. |
I use vim, emacs, pico and joe. Does anyone know if the BSD/Unix command Edit works? Its kinda like vim, but better. I have it on my FreeBSD machine, but I dont know if its been ported over to Linux or not...

i use vi/vim and pico/nano. for looking at code [shell scripts mostly] i prefer nano. it provides some nice color syntax highlighting.
