I used to be able to open files directly from my server and edit and save but they suggested that I need to pull them down, edit, save, and upload again which seems ridiculous sometimes. I didn't have this problem before with older system but I can see how this would impact Coda since it's an open connection while editing. Coda support seems minimal, as well which is surprising. I would like to see a support forum for it, too. Yeah,I had many support tickets open with MT about FTP.

I have no problems using Coda with AN Hosting, so I don't think it's a problem with the software. MT explained the reason to me, but I frankly didn't pay very close attention. I was too frustrated. It's also frustrating that neither MT nor Panic have forums, so it isn't easy to figure problems like this out. I had to call MT twice. The first time the person said they would change some settings on my account, which did nothing.

The odd thing is that it almost seems as those this issue with Coda is new, like only in the past couple of weeks.

I have the problem with Media Temple, but not AN Hosting. I'm not real clear technically why this happens, but it has something to do with the way the server at MT opens a connection for each open file. After I've edited a few files, MT says there are too many open connections and won't save anymore. It's a pain, but when I work on my MT hosted sites, I have to open them from Transmit.

As I work with Coda more, I'm having troubles uploading lately where Transmit has no troubles at all with the same files going to the same directory. Ah, good point.

It won't update changes automatically, but it should refresh. Of course, if the page you're working on is hosted remotely, you have to be editing the remote pages and if you're editing local pages, you have to be previewing them through localhost.

Or maybe I need to spend more than 3 seconds using it, eh? Good first attempt, I love the direction it's going.

I'm not ready to let go of CSSEdit yet. Oh, and I still use my Transmit Droplets. I don't think Panic will beef up the FTP client in Coda too much, though.
