WebDesign lets you open any kind of HTML or other web page written in any other HTML editor. It doesn't matter where a web page is created since they are just text documents giving the web browser instructions on how to load them. Any document created in another HTML editor can be opened in WebDesign and any document created in WebDesign can be opened in any other HTML editor.
WebDesign provides a variety of methods to open documents. You can open local documents from your computer, you can open documents from your FTP server and save them back all from within WebDesign or you can download a web page right off the web by typing in a url (although you will not be able to save it directly back unless you have the login information for the web server).
The Default Directory' field allows you to specify the default directory that will be listed when the FTP client connects to your server. You can leave this field blank if you want it to connect to the root directory.
WebDesign lets you download web pages right off the web by typing in the web address. However, you can not save a web page downloaded from a specific URL unless you have the login information for the web page's FTP server. See below for more details on saving web pages and getting them online through the built in FTP Client.
WebDesign keeps track of all the documents that you have opened so you can quickly open recent documents that have been previously opened in WebDesign. By default, WebDesign will remember the last 10 opened documents but you can change the number by going to the 'Application' tab of the Preferences.
You can access the most recently opened files from the 'File' menu as shown the file menu picture above. The recent menu will also show files that have been opened from your FTP server through WebDesign's built in FTP Client. When you select a recently opened file that was downloaded from your FTP server, a dialog will appear asking for your FTP server password before downloading.
Open recently opened files that came from your FTP server. Just enter your server password and click the 'OK' button
