frustration with ftp setup

CalModels · 2006-03-19, 03:56 PM

my personal opinion... the best ever ftp server/client is filezilla..

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

its opensource and stable as hell... very fast and multi threaded... i use both the client and server, and have never had either of them crash ever... which is saying a LOT for a win32 app

just out of curiosity, how many of you guys make from scratch your own freesites,galleries, LL, ect? I am almost at the point where I just order the damn custom templates from someone and start putting the pics/movies in for submissions. I have sales goals for the end of this year and summer of 07 that I need to meet, 6 and 20 sales a day respectively.Every day that goes by without sites to submit is another day lost

I build everything from scratch. Period. Full stop.

I build every page with CuteHTML, a simple HTML editor.

Useless Warrior and Surfn, how difficult would it be for you guys to just stop using your current editor and use another? easy? a pain in the ass?
Or is it , you've seen one, and you've seen them all?

I don't use an editor so it would be fairly easy to quit

Surfn, don't tell me you

HAND

CODE?|shocking|

The mere thought of it sends my hands reeling for the phonebook to call an orthopedist.

It's actually faster once you learn it

I'm another dinosaur that does it all with my own two hands. Did hire an outsourcer for a large 'grunt work' kinda project several months ago...turned into a complete and utter fiasco. Long story...short version is I ended up having to redo all the work the outsourcer did anyway.

And yep, it's all hand coded. I do use Notetab...very handy...kinda like notepad on steroids

You'll find as you go along...things get faster to do. One of the very cool things about Notetab is the ability to save snippets...that can be reused later...huge time saver

karomesis · 2006-03-20, 12:31 AM

damn you dinosaurs and your hand coding, what do you think this is the cambrian explosion?

I do need to learn more code like you guys, is there any book or author you can personally reccomend?

With goals like that I suggest you invest in the proper tools to reach them. Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Cute FTP is what I use. Sure you can build stunning websites with Notepad and freeware image editing programs, but it will take you much longer. And also get some good reference books; the Dreamweaver Bible, the Photoshop Bible and an HTML reference.

so have you figured out all of your FTP woes or are you still having fits??

It WILL be resolved this week, I have a freind who is a program engineer and he's going to walk through a tutorial with me.

Lemmy, what are your thoughts on NVU and GIMP? They are pretty easy to use for me, and do almost as much as dreamweaver and photoshop. Do you think it is sufficeint for making and submitting freesites?

Lemmy · 2006-03-21, 12:12 AM

I'm not familiar with either, but if they work for you and get the job done that's all that matters.
