HTML Editor Overview

CuteFTP has a built-in HTML editor with which you can edit HTML and other ASCII (text)-based documents. The built-in editor was added primarily for remote file editing to enable you to select a document on the remote Site, open it in the editor, make edits, and then save the document in the remote location. You can also use it to edit documents locally.

You do not have to use the HTML Editor. You can configure a different editor, such as Notepad or EditPlus, to open HTML documents.

To open the HTML Editor

    Do one of the following:

    • On the main menu, click File > New > HTML Document.

    • In either the Local or Remote pane, right-click an HTML document, then click Edit.

    The HTML Editor opens in a new tab. Tags are in different colors from text to make it easier to read. Refer to HTML Editor Settings for details of configuring the Editor.
