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.

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?
