Anotther Noob Question - Different Noob

#1 Post by BobH - TAN » 2006-03-23 16:56

FZ is great. Thanks to EVERYONE who made -- and continues to make -- it possible.

After connecting to my webhost and while viewing the various folders and files there, a right click brings up a menu that starts with DOWNLOAD. In that menu is the option View/Edit but it is greyed out. Is there a way to associate that menu choice with an editor so that files can be read - at least -- in situ, as it were.

I'm having a particular problem locating specific lines of content in file. When I view it on the browser and view source, I can see the code I need to change -- including a pathname to the file; however when I download the file and view it with my editor, it's not the same source. If I could view the hosted file, it would make locating the source easier.

Or is this the typical, "As Grasshopper! It doesn't work that way!" question .

It's in the Edit menu under Settings>Interface Settings>File Viewing / Editing. Enter your editor's pathname and bob's yer uncle.
