ExpanDrive… a PERFECT way to update your website!
Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by John in Technology
ExpanDrive is seriously the perfect application for updating your website.
I was using Cyberduck which is a fantastic app for OS X if you are looking for a solid FTP client.
However, I was looking for a way to be able to edit files without having to download, edit and then upload the file again. With ExpanDrive I can do just this. Just open the file from the server, as if it was a remote hard drive, hit save and whalla the site is updated.
Some advantages to using ExpanDrive with SSHFS:
- Secure FTP connection.
- Fast connection that connects like a drive which shows in Finder.
- ? + C to copy and ? + V to paste right in the drive which will create a backup quickly and easily.
- Open the file (like your CSS file), make an edit and hit ? + S which will save the file and cause an immediate update to your page.
