879 PointsCyberduck vs Adobe Dreamweaver?
I would like to switch my workspace and hosting server to something else, can I use Dreamweaver for this instead of Cyberduck? I guess a more specific question is, will there be a problem if I switch from Cyberduck to Adobe Dreamweaver?
My files are uploaded to Cyberduck, but if I want to switch over to Adobe Dreamweaver, how do I go about that? Should I delete my files from Cyberduck, then somehow remove my "connection" from it, then opened a new connection on Dreamweaver?
Sorry for my many questions.

31,009 PointsNo you don't touch anything. FTP client is to connect to your server. Do not delete anything. Everytime you connect via ftp you accessing your server that is on the cloud. You have permissions to connect when you type in your ftp url, username, and password.
I hope that helps. Dream weaver has ftp client built into itself and it's IDE "text editor".

879 PointsI used SFTP for Cyberduck. Dreamweaver can do a SFTP connection too. I'm not sure how the answer helps, I just wanted to know if I can stop using Cyberduck and switch my workspace and server connection to Dreamweaver. How can I do that?
EDIT: Basically, what's the safest way to switch my site files from Cyberduck to Dreamweaver? Thank you for your help, Jason!

879 PointsOh cool thanks Jason, so before I switch to Dreamweaver and uninstall CyberDuck, but is there something that I should do before I uninstall CyberDuck? Like do I need to get rid of my SFTP connection on CyberDuck before I switch to Dreamweaver?
