Edit Remote Files in Your Favorite Utility with Fetch

If you use the Fetch FTP client and want to, for instance, edit remote .html files with one application but .css files with another, you can set this up easily: In Fetch, select a .html file and click the Get Info button on the toolbar. In the Get Info window, in the Transfer Option section, choose your desired program from the "Edit files like this with" pop-up menu. Repeat the procedure for a .css file, and you're ready to go!

We offer a free weekly mailing of 5–10 of our top articles along with regular features, such as important software updates and worthwhile reading elsewhere on the Web. The Issue versions contain the full text of all articles. The Announcement versions contain only article titles, a brief summary, and links to the full articles. Both versions are available in plain-text and HTML versions.

Also, we fund TidBITS in part through a paid membership program, and TidBITS members can choose to receive new articles as soon as they are posted throughout the week, among much else. See the full list of TidBITS member benefits.
