GUI for accessing code

(M Ramachandran) #1

Hi,


Besides putty, what is the GUI for accessing the source code for MYSOURCE MATRIX.







it is still on pilot server.

There is no specific GUI for accessing code on a Linux server. There are several editors that can make SFTP connections, though, which you could use. For example, I prefer Macromedia Dreamweaver, but that's a commercial application.


Alternatively, you could use products like jEdit or PHPEclipse on a Windows or Linux PC and TextWrangler or BBedit on MacOS X.



Essentially, any text editor will do, you just need to work out how you will send/receive files, so a text editor with a built-in FTP client is preferred.

Correct. This is a PHPEclipse problem and you should seek support from them directly. :slight_smile:

Each developer uses their favourite editor. I believe most use jEdit, while the Mac guys sometimes use TextWrangler or bbEdit. I personally use Dreamweaver, but I think I’m the exception rather than the rule!



Also keep in mind that your Server Administrators will need to allow you access to the code on your server. By default, this code is not accessible from external connections. You will have to configure either FTP or SFTP (recommend) access to the code itself.



May I also ask why you need access to the code itself? Perhaps there is another way of achieving your particular goal.

(M Ramachandran) #7

oh… forgot to ask which other way would you suggest achieving this goal.

(Avi Miller) #9

As mentioned on the Requirements page, you can only use PHP4.
