    Does anyone use any particular programs other than putty when working with their servers?

    Currently im using winSCP and Putty. Is there anything else better out there for the job?

    Thanks.

    Edit: Also, im wondering if Notepad++ is recommended for editing the files or not.

    I use Putty for doing SSH command prompt stuff

    PSPad for editing files

    Filezilla for uploading files

    Have you ever used WinSCP Kevin? I have only just found it today and it seems much easier to work with than Putty so far at least.

    PuTTy always works for me
    WinSCP is nice too, but I like the interface of PuTTy

    I use filezilla mostly and Putty

    There really isn't anything that compares to PuTTy when it comes to SSH clients for windows.

    Is there a way within Filezilla for downloading and editing all files at higher levels than public_html because when I use it I can only see certain folders/files but when using WinSCP I can anything and everything, unless Filezilla is hiding them.

    Yes, login with root and be sure to set the port to 22

    or for the host name

    sftp://domain.com
