Using HTML Editor directly from...

I have just moved over from WS_FTP and I have always used HTML Editor to edit my files (quite fond of using it).
In WS_FTP I could right click the file I wanted to edit and choose Edit in HTML Editor.
With Direct FTP, I don't have that choice. It is only the integrated editing window.

Is there a way to use HTML Editor directly from Direct FTP and not having to open each file from HTML Editor?

Hope my question is clear.

Cheers,
David

Each app is a separate application and don't integrate with each other.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The advantage of DirectFTP is that while browsing your files on your server, if you'd like to edit one then simply double-click it. It will open in an editor built into DirectFTP. You can make the changes you want right there, save it back to the server without ever leaving DirectFTP. Then if you have your browser showing your web site, simply refresh and see the change. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that HTML Editor has, but it's quite handy! :cool:
