Programmers - best OSX text editor & FTP client?

[Munson]

Google shows a few kicking about, but I thought I'd ask fellow geeks what they use. Under Windows I use UE32 and FTP Voyager, but am thinking about buying a Mac for work (13" MBP), and would like to use Windows on it as little as possible. I'll still need to use Windows for some proprietary software, but for the most part all I need is an FTP client and a text editor for OSX.

Requirements are macros and syntax colouring, and anything will do for the FTP I guess. I've been looking at TextMate, which seems ok. Any other ideas? I don't care if it costs a bit, as it's all tax deductable anyway.

Danke.

EDIT: Oh and the editor needs to have a fixed pitch font of course.

TextMate is what I use, bbedit is supposed to be good but I liked the way TextMate worked so just bought that.

I use Transmit as my FTP client at home, I use Cyberduck at work. I only use Transmit at home because when I was looking for an ftp client cyberduck was crap, however, that's a long time ago and it's pretty good now.

Coda - http://www.panic.com/coda/

I actually don't have it yet because I've been lazy and not needed to do FTP or anything yet. When I bother to work I'll be getting it. A few of my IM buddies have said it's the s**t.

I should clarify that's for web development. For FTP get Transit from the same guys. (Or Cyberduck if you don't wanna spend any notes).

I use Cyberduck for FTP.

I use Cyberduck for FTP.

Use that at work, seems pretty stable actually, better than all the others we have used, doesn't have mac to windows issues either as far as I can tell.

 

[Christopher]

Nope, that's why I use it.

Well, and because it's free.

Thanks for the input c**k fags

Coda looks good. Seems aimed at web devs though?

Yeah most guys I know giving it big praise are web devs or net marketer's who do a bit of coding here and there.

I use coda, it's great.

Excellent for FTP too.
