How to keep files from different FTP browsers separate

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I use BBEdit on multiple (php) projects at the same time. A different
FTP browser is opened for each project. Fine so far. But, the files
co-mingle in the same list, making it difficult to keep the files
straight. Not sure what this window is called.

First question: Is there a way to keep the files from different FTP
Browsers separate from each other?

Second question: Is it possible to save the state of a particular list
of files for a particular FTP Browser so that it can be opened and
worked on w/o having to open the files manually? Presently, BBEdit
reopens all files that were previously open before BBEdit quit.

Thanks

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Once a file is open, you can right-click (or control click) on it and
'Open in Separate Window'. (there is also a keyboard shortcut: option
+apple+o i think)

Once two windows are open, you can drag files from one to another. I
believe a file will automatically open in whatever window is active,
or on top.

I'm not sure about your second question - I use Transmit as an FTP
client, which has a nice little "open with" feature that lets me edit
in whatever app I choose (and I choose BBEdit!)

Good luck!
