Does anybody know of any good text editors for Windows with SFTP support + Ruby syntax highlighting? SFTP support could include the ability to automatically sync projects and/or the abillity to edit remote files locally. I’m working on a Solaris server but don’t logging in and having to use vi or emacs. I found a couple but wanted to see if anybody has a favorite that works well with Ruby > **[Zeus IDE - Programming environment for Windows developers](https://www.zeusedit.com/index.html)** > > A powerful, feature packed, fully configurable IDE specifically designed for Windows developers....

jEdit with the FTP and Ruby plug-ins. Just make sure you download the newest pre release. I believe they are up to 4.3 pre10. Very stable and versatile editor with excellent Ruby support.

Hi Chirag, > Does anybody know of any good text editors for Windows with SFTP > support + Ruby syntax highlighting? Aptana does what you want. It’s still beta but is shaping up to be great. Some milestones do contain a couple of fallacies though. – Roderick van Domburg > **[De domeinnaam Nedforce.nl is te koop.](http://www.nedforce.nl)** > > Deze mooie domeinnaam kan al over een paar minuten van jou zijn.

Yeah, I love aptana, although it does have a tendency for the inbuilt server runner to break. otherwise, top-notch.

As you indicate the Zeus IDE does seamless FTP/SFTP editing. Is there some problem with Zeus and the Ruby language? Jussi Jumppanen Author: Zeus for Windows IDE
