For years I've used dreamweaver simply for it's extremely intelligent and intuitive site mangagement / ftp tool. Now I'm making the transition to linux and am looking for a similar site/file management tool even if it is stand-alone. I just want it to do 3 things:

1) store ftp info for many sites
2) associate a local dir with the remote root
3) I want to select a file and hit a button that says "upload" and have it go to the right remote server in the right directory.

Is this a lot to ask? Any suggestions? I'm kind of at my wits end. I've been looking for years. I do a lot of my coding in vim/gvim and find myself using dreamweaver purely as an intelligent ftp program.

Are you talking about running Linux on your desktop? I haven't used Dreamweaver's FTP program, but you might want the check out gFTP:

[gftp.seul.org...]

It's available for almost all Linux distributions or you can compile it. I've used it for years, it works very well.

Well if you haven't tried dreamweavers ftp program, then you won't know what I mean. As far as I can tell, it's pretty unique.

It allows you to "link" a remote directory to a local one and store ftp login details. This lets you choose any file, or group of files (in different dirs) and press an upload button, and all files go to the right remote location, in the same dir structure that they were in on the local site.

So far I've only seen a couple of programs that can do this, but they're billed as file syncronizers and seem to want to create exact mirrors, which is not what I want.
