It’s about to get FTP in here. Today I learned about file transfer. To get your website on your server you need to transmit the bits. FTP is how you do that. First the practical. Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch/) is widely regarded as the best free Mac FTP tool. Download it, try it out. Theoretical – I hear quite a few devs use Dropbox to sync their server files and their development files. Which is actually really smart. When you want to add a file to your server, just drag it into the Dropbox file. After reading up on it, it has limitations. You are limited to HTML and client side scripts or complete access to the server. Might be fun to try. On another note I get my computer back from the Apple Store tomorrow. My trackpad if fixed and we are ready to roll.
