Linux For the Webmaster

Work with remote files
Php-editors both under Windows, and under Linux support work with files through ftp. As a rule, editors work on ftp so: the file is downloaded from a server, was located in a time folder, and at preservation was filled in back on a server. But Linux would not be Linux if at it there was no more elegant and convenient decision. One of feature of this OS is support of set of file systems and convenient work with them by assembling all of them in uniform treelike structure. In Linux there is very useful and convenient utility curlftpfs, allowing to mount contents of ftp-servers.
Use ssh
With support ssh in Linux where is easier, than in Windows. While even with Vista the client is delivered only telnet, and under Windows it is necessary to establish foreign utilities like PuttY, in Linux, from the very first versions of OS, there was a built in command ssh with which help it is possible to carry out any operations over files: to change access rights, to copy them, arhivirovat and to do other operations which should be carried out directly on a server.
The PHP-editor
ActiveState Komodo Edit. In advance I warn, that you did not confuse it with Komodo IDE from the same firm. Unlike the senior colleague, Komodo Edit absolutely free. An excellent product, among which possibilities:
* Support of illumination of syntax for more than 100 programming languages and a marking. Among them as languages used in web working out (PHP, HTML, Perl, JavaScript, XHTML, XML, JSON, VBScript, CSS and even Smarty!), and others (Basic, Pascal, C, Java…)
* the Expanded support of projects. In projects it is possible to add both local, and remote files (through the report ftp). But a highlight is support of “live” folders. Contents of a “live” folder are imported automatically, and automatically updated.
* Convenient autoaddition of tags.
