I came across a very competent text editor that is also FREE.

It is a small yet powerful programmer’s editor that features syntax highlighting, HTML previewing and a FTP client.

I played with it for a couple of hours and it seems like it could be really helpful.

It is certainly not necessary for CBTE-162 for you to use this program; I just wanted to let you know that it seems to be OK, it has lots of HTML/XHTML features, and you might want to check it out if you are dissatisfied with the functionality of NotePad.

Softpedia.com certifies that it is spyware and virus free.

Summary

This article provides information and steps for publishing to Cox.Net Personal WebSpace using an FTP application.

Manual Solution
Because every FTP application is different, the steps below are generalized. For more detailed information, see the FTP program’s online Help.
Note:

Personal WebSpace is case sensitive. If the URL to the Personal WebSpace is included as a link on other webpages, or in emails or other files, it should be typed in lower case only. An example of the correct format is http://members.cox.net/username.

Example: http://members.cox.net/USERNAME/ and http://members.cox.net/UserName/ are both incorrect, as they are not all lower case.

All references that are made in Personal webpages to a file, such as a graphic, must be made in the same case as the filename. For example, if there is a picture named “IMAGE.jpg” in the Personal WebSpace folder, the link used to that picture must be the same case. The correct way to link to that image would be http://members.cox.net/username/IMAGE.jpg.

Example: http://members.cox.net/username/image.jpg or http://members.cox.net/username/Image.JPG will not work.

(Be sure to read the Terms of Usage. For more information about Cox High Speed Internet’s Personal WebSpace rules and policies, read Cox’s Acceptable Use Policy.)

Step Action

Open the FTP application.

When prompted for the host name, enter members.cox.net.

Enter username and password.

Note: The username and password are the same as those used for email.

Example: If the email address is johndoe@cox.net, the username is johndoe.

Connect to the server. Most FTP applications have a Connect button. Once connected, FTP provides a list of the files in the Personal WebSpace directory.

Select and transfer the files.

Close the FTP application and disconnect from the Personal WebSpace server.

All steps complete.
