Viewing and Editing HTML Files

CuteFTP comes with a built-in HTML editor with which you can view and edit HTML files both on your local drive and on remote servers. Alternately, y ou can specify a third-party application to view and edit files (such as Notepad, EditPlus, Microsoft Front Page, and so on).

Note the difference between Opening and Viewing a file:

• On the main menu, click File > Open (or press CTRL+E). The file opens in your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer).

• On the main menu, click File > View (or press CTRL+W). The file opens in the HTML editor that you specify in the Helper Applications node. If you are using the built-in HTML editor, the file opens in the right pane, showing the HTML code. (You can change from tabbed view to full screen on the HTML Editor Settings page.)

• On the main menu, click File > Edit (or press CTRL+ENTER). The file opens in the HTML editor that you specify below. If you are using the built-in HTML editor, the file opens in the right pane, showing the HTML code. (You can change from tabbed view to full screen on the HTML Editor Settings page.)

  If you open an HTML file in the built-in HTML editor by clicking File, then clicking View, you can still edit and save the file.
