FTP Support In Progress

Yesterday we added an update that allows us to edit files directly on a web server using FTPS. There is no FTP browser available, so you will need to know the full path of the file you would like to edit beforehand. Otherwise we have already found this to be a great convenience feature in quickly making changes to files we frequently edit online.

The source code with installation instructions can be downloaded from:

Weekend Update on Thoth

Just before the night ends on Friday we uploaded an update to GitLab to show line numbers in Thoth, and hilite edited files in the side panel.
