In FTP client context menu of an active connection, whats the difference between: “Open as Text” and “Direct Edit in PSPad”?
Open as Text creates a local copy of the file in the Windows Temp folder. This makes for fast edits and saves. You may then Right Click the tab and select Save To FTP. Direct Edit, on the other hand, never saves a local copy. Any time you hit Save, it saves to the FTP host. Direct Edit is better for quick edits and will also prevent you from forgetting to save your changes to the FTP site. When you double click a file, you get a Direct Edit.
