[Zope] FTP in HTML-Kit? (Or other editor on MS-Windows)

Maybe the newest built of html-kit (from 29. Nov).
The changes file suggests that ftp-support is now very 
good. (save/load/update ... everything you can do with a
local file seems now to work with remote-files too).
Look at http://www.chami.com/html-kit/news/


A very interesting feature for zope seems to be the following:

" Ability to map local folders to remote servers, for the purpose 
of previewing files with server-side scripting through the server 
("Edit | Preferences... | Preview | Edit Preview Rules..."). 
The user interface for this option has not been finalized."

HTML-Kit is free and very customizable, I really like it.
The developer is very responsive and there's a load of plugins
available - chances are that any modifications to make it 
play better with zope can be incorporated.

And it's free (as in beer).

cheers,
