Hello,
I am newbie to awesome WM. I am a web developer and usually need to edit files after downloading from FTP. I am using filezilla for FTP and sulblime text 2 for coding.
How can I drag file from filezilla and drop into sublime window for editing when both windows are maximized? Is it possible? Same way sometimes I also need to drag file from nautilus to filezilla for uploading to FTP server?
I would be thankful if somebody can guide me to make it possible.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem in FLuxbox.
I can not drag a file from Thunar to any aplication.
I can "half solve" this problem in this manner:
Drag a file from a ubication, press ALT + TAB to switch between programs and then drop it inside.
My problem is that Fluxbox not change from one window to another when you put a file over the taskbar. I do not know if Awesome WM can switch between applications using ALT + Tab but it is the idea.
Luck with it.

No awesome wm can't switch between applications when file is dragged using ALT + Tab or MOD4 + Tab and that's the problem.

I think it's not possible to do that with maximized windows in Awesome.
Maybe you must put your windows in tiling mode for a moment and then, drag and drop so.

I don't use FileZilla but I can imagine being able to configure FileZilla to open files in Sublime Text when you click on them. That might even be quicker than dragging.
