The best Programming suite

Hi, I could you give me some advices about what tools you use for programing in an easy and quick way, I mean, for example a code editor who can open ssh or ftp  conections, and save the files directly to the server,etc. thanks.

Re: The best Programming suite

You will receive nearly as many recommendations as many there exist. It heavily depends on the WM or DE you are using. And it heavily depends on you programming skills and customs. And it heavily depends on your taste. I'm pretty confident, that you will end up trying several IDE's and editors, and after a pretty long time you will close this thread with the ultimate editor of your choice.
Whether we contribute anything at all or a lot.
On the other hand, I understand, that having a list of recommendations is comfortable, it will be easier to choose from.
So, what are your programming habits, and tell us more about what you want to achieve.

Exactly.  Linux rules for stuff like this.  Any program out there can write to a remote server over whatever protocol you want.  Let's see, KDE has KIOSlaves so you just enter the address and protocol in the address bar of the file dialog, like this:

fish://127.0.0.1

which copies files over ssh.  Once you're there you can drop the remote folder over to the "places" bar for easier access.

Gnome has GVFS, which can mount a remote file system as a folder.  That's done from the "Places" menu at the top of the screen, I believe.  Similarly it supports a wide range of protocols.

Don't use either?  There's always SSHFS.

If you come from Windows, these are similar to the "Map Network Drive" functionality, except they support a whole lot more protocols.

Except emacs, of course.

Re: The best Programming suite

Vim, sed, Perl, bash.  I've started using zsh at work, but don't know if it will stick.

In reference to your example, I would recommend not saving files directly to a remote server.  Instead, have a development server set up locally so you can test them as soon as you save them, and keep them under revision control such that it's easy to sync the production server with the development server.

Re: The best Programming suite

yeah, most projects are managed under some form of version control (git, cvs, svn etc. )  You can use whatever revision control system to check out source code, modify it however on your PC, then submit your changes.  as far as editing code, linux provides an outstanding number of different tools ranging from standard text editors to full featured IDE's. It really depends on what kind of project you are working on, and how you like to work.  It would be impossible to really give too many recommendations because everybody's style and tastes differ.
