FTP and HTML/PHP editors

Transmit is a great FTP app, well worth the few $ it costs.

i use skEdit for HTML/PHP/CSS/JS/SQL. again, well worth the few $.

both are brilliant cocoa applications, and make use of standard OSX features and functionality, like Keychain, Syncservices etc.

 

Transmit is very good. I think Textmate is one of the best (if not the best) text editor on the mac. I went from SKEdit to BBEdit and now Textmate. So far, it can't be beat, IMO.

 

I use Taco HTML Edit and Transmit on a daily basis.

(Taco can be used for scripting, it's not just for html... it's got a nice preview feature too. )

there is one thing that cute for mac doesn't have that the PC version does, that is the ability to edit php files (or any file) right in the ftp program.

i like using smultron for coding. it's also free and has some very nice features

 

I also love Taco HTML it has a PHP rendering built in....
