The only editor I know of which can handle huge files. So horribly horrible though. =(

  • Ruby-capable, I hear.

monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs on linux, solaris, OSX, windows, and other unixes, and is licensed under the GNU GPL.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lufs/ [ 1 ] was http://lufs.sourceforge.net:80/lufs/fs.html

A hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting many “exotic” filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, gnutellafs, locasefs, gvfs, cardfs, cefs, etc. ).

Seems unreliable to me.

  • Can mount FTP

  • Abandoned

    • As of August 2008-08-26, last updated 2003-10-30.
    • Try CurlFtpFS

If it existed, Phpss would be a simple website synchronization tool.

If it existed, it would be designed to be deployed on the source machine and will replicate files and a database to a remote target machine by FTP.

This is one of my random ideas. Feel free to implement it!

  • PHP Site Sync, pronnounced “peeps”.
