FTP and development software
by Owen Mundy, March 25th, 2010
For every task a commercial software claims to do there is an open source (free, as in beer) alternative.
FTP
- Cyberduck (mac)
- FireFTP (mac + windows)
- Using Filezilla (windows)
Text Editors
- Smultron (mac)
- TextWrangler (mac)
- Notepad++ (windows)
Development Tools
- Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox (this is a must have)
- FireBug for Firefox (good for debugging)
- ColorZilla for Firefox (eyedropper, color picker, and more)
- Browsershots (test your site in different browsers)
