FileZilla is a free FTP client available for Windows, Mac and Linux users. While less known on OS X, the Windows counterpart of the app is more famous, owing to its ease of use. While less known on OS X, the Windows counterpart of the app is more famous, owing to its ease of use.
I'm a PHP developer and now I'm using a 'free' version of Dreamweaver, I know that this one has the things I'm looking for, but its expensive.
I've looked into some softwares like Aptana, Notepad++, Dreamweaver, CodeLobster. But none of them were good to me. I need it to support MacOS and Windows, because I have different OS at home and at work.
- Classic FTP Plus for Mac is an easy to use ftp client to view, manage, edit, upload, download and delete files from a remote server or network. As the name suggests, Classic FTP has been.
- With Free FTP, you now have a choice between an array of different protocols, including FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and their different methods of encryption. It can even handle HTTP. Vital Info at a Glance: At the bottom of the Free FTP workspace is the handy, info-packed Statusbar.
- Perhaps this isn't the proper thing to ask the Stack Overflow community, but I can't think of a better place to ask. Can anyone suggest a free text editor for the Mac that allows for FTP I curren.
This is what I'm looking for:
- FTP support
- Code highlight
- Windows and MacOS
- PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript
- Easy to use.

I used to be an Eclipse fan, but a few years ago I moved to NetBeans and have never looked back.
I am currently using it for PHP (and MySql/SQlite), C, C++ and JavaScript.
From your request:
https://netbeans.org/features/ .... 'NetBeans IDE offers superior support for C/C++ and PHP developers, providing comprehensive editors and tools for their related frameworks and technologies. In addition, the IDE has editors and tools for XML, HTML, PHP, Groovy, Javadoc, JavaScript, and JSP.'
Plus, add your own ... http://wiki.netbeans.org/How_to_create_support_for_a_new_language
You won't ever look for another IDE. Guaranteed, or your money back ;-)

I'd recommend Sublime Text.
Sublime has everything you would expect in a minor IDE or an amazing text editor and yet is very very light. Pretty much any area that you want to have more features there is a simply massive plugin library. Sublime Text is not free but it on the cheap end of software, it also has a free unlimited trial so you can test it and decide before making any commitments.
Ftp For Mac Free Download
To go over your requirements:
- FTP support: Sublime does not have native FTP support. However, that plugin library comes to the rescue. If you don't need SFTP then the free/open-source SublimeFTPSynce is what I have used and is quite good. If you do need SFTP support then AFAIK the only option is Sublime SFTP which is not free ($20) but has a free trial.
- Code highlight
- Windows and MacOS
- PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript
- Easy to use

For some period of time I used Komodo Edit.
Komodo Edit is a stripped down version of Komodo IDE. Nevertheless Komodo Edit is a full featured text editor with such features as syntax highlighting, automatic insertion of matching parentheses, FTP support, and many other features a modern editor should have.
(Later I switched to Kate because Komodo's bad support of Hebrew text. But there is at least a trouble to install Kate on Windows.) Komodo is fine.

It's not free ($89 for the first year*, after free 30-day trial), but I would recommend that you, at least, check out PhpStorm (from JetBrains).
- Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux: Download link
- Easy to use
- If you keep paying for an updated license, it's $71 for the second year, and then $53 for the third year onwards. Those are the prices, if an 'individual customer' is the purchaser; if the license is being purchased by a 'business or organization' then the prices are $199 / 1st year, $159 / 2nd year, and $119 / 3rd yr onwards.

Best Free Pdf Editor For Mac
Dreamweaver is a titan in the WYSIWYG world. Now part of the Adobe portfolio but originally launched by Macromedia, Dreamweaver has offered WYSIWYG editing since 1997 when the web was a maze of tiled backgrounds, electric blue links and blinking GIFs. Dreamweaver offers hybrid editing, you can work completely in WYSIWYG mode without ever seeing a bit of code, you can work directly in the code only switching over to preview your work, or you can work in a dual-pane environment to take advantage of WYSIWYG and hand-coding simultaneously. Dreamweaver is extensible with dozens of free and commercial plugs-ins available for everything from web effects and widgets to shopping carts and image galleries.
Microsoft Expression Web (Windows, $125)

Expression Web is Microsoft's current offering in the WYSIWYG arena (the popular but much maligned FrontPage was retired in 2003). For those of you who associate Microsoft with poor web standards compliance, take comfort knowing that Expression Web has a totally separate engine from Internet Explorer and is compliant with a wide range of current web standards. It shares a lot of features with the other WYSIWYG editors featured here, like highlighting code errors and non-compliant code, a built-in CSS editor, and more, it also stands out for features like search engine optimization—offering you tips and ideas to optimize your sites for better crawling and search engine ranking.
Flux (Mac, $75)

Flux is a Mac-based WYSIWYG editor that has received high praise for being a powerful editor with a reasonable price tag. Flux's interface offers a fine degree of control over editing everything from the margins and padding to over all size of your elements including altering CSS code with simple mouse movements. Flux offers dual-pane editing so you can switch between hand-editing and drag-and-drop editing instantly or just watch the HTML code unfold as you WYSIWYG edit to study what's going on under the hood. Like Dreamweaver, Flux supports third-party plug-ins which are available for download through the Flux application.
