Web Design Fun..
Gnome rocks.
Here's how I edit my website nowadays. The left sidebar on my Firefox browser is the awesome web developer extension - I can edit the page CSS stylesheet on the fly:
Once I am happy with it, I save the stylesheet to my desktop, and drag it to Nautilus which shows the contents of my website with the ssh:// -method:
Nice.

I do exactly the same! Webdeveloper and Gnome-vfs rocks… It is a pure pleasure to do all this with drag & drop

Is the Nautilus window very small because Nautilus does that annoying thing of not hiding passwords in the location bar?
I wish the Nautilus guys would fix that.
September 8th, 2004 - 12:09
No, it is small just to save space on the page – I did not want to scale the pixels too small. Nautilus now has a password dialog that handles those (plus a keyring that can store your passwords if you want to do that) – stuff is really coming together..

Is this 2.8? I’m using 2.6 and I still cant get it to work with password authentication (public key method works)
September 8th, 2004 - 12:57
Good point. I have currently 2.6 and ssh-agent which handles the auth for me. I think the keyring stuff is in 2.8, but I am not completely sure. Also try sftp:// if your remote host has it enabled – it should work better with passwords even in 2.6.

I upload my webpage this way, too, using Gnome 2.6. Before this, it was just too much effort to upload anything. These days, it’s so convenient I do it all the time.
It’s 10x better than 2.4 was, but it’s still not quite perfect. If you take more than a couple seconds typing in your password, it throws another dialog at you that says “Click cancel to stop opening” or something. And it never remembers my password, even if I click the checkbox. (I saw a fix fly by on one of the lists recently for the former problem, so 2.8 should work great.)
It *is* nice.

nice – but how do i authenticate to my good old ftp server using gnome? i still stumble across one bug after the other. the most annoying of course the display of the username/password in the window title. regular expressions anyone?

smoke: You should file bugs if you havent, and discuss with the developers – I am not one of the people who can help with issues in the code

smoke: try “sftp://”. I don’t think it’s documented anywhere. (I only know because I’d heard that it was possible, so I went on a big web searching spree. Took forever to find.)
Gnome probably has about 3 times as many features as anybody realizes. It’s just that they’re not documented, so nobody knows.

I have always wondered what distro you used if at all Tigert? Please share…

What’s the background image in your screenie?

Yeah, now it would be nice to save directly from Firefox to sftp:// without the desktop step

Zygar: I use SuSE right now, for obvious reasons. I also use Debian on the server and firewall machines, I used LinuxPPC on the apple powerbook in the past, then Debian/PPC, also I have used Red Hat from 3 up until 9.. also a bit of Fedora.. My first Linux distro was Slackware in 1995 or so.
Gentoo is a distro I have not used..
