Best webdev ftp program?

[Messiah Khan]

For ages now I have been using Netdrive to access my webspace to write and update my website. However it is really starting to annoy me. It keeps timing out without telling me and is generally unstable. So are there any good alternatives out there. I want something that allows me to quickly update files, ideally without having to download them, edit them then re-upload them. If they can be edited on the webserver then that's ideal. Also it need to be stable. Any ideas?

notepad++ has an FTP plugin for this - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

So it does! And it works perfectly. Thanks, that should do the job very nicely.

Have a look at Webdrive, it is exactly the same idea as netdrive, except it is a far better piece of software.

Thanks for the suggestion Jonny, but it needs to be free.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Think the FTP part of notepad++ does most of what I'm after.
