If you are a developer and want to make frequent customization to your websites, doing that without an FTP software becomes a tedious task. In absence of FTP software just imagine the steps you would have to follow to achieve desirable results – first download the file that you want to edit, edit it and upload it again then check the output. If the output is not what was expected, then this procedure has to be repeated until the desired results are achieved.

Among the many FTP’s available in the market, Cyberduck is considered on the most simple and user friendly software. Its intuitive user interface is ideal for beginners or for people who do not have to worry about multiple websites at the same time.

But the problem is that it takes Notepad as its default editor. And we all already concur with the fact that Notepad is not the best editor to use when it comes to editing HTML, CSS, JavaScript or PHP files.

In this tutorial you will learn how to change the default editor in Cyberduck. It is a very easy task to change default editor in Cyberduck.

Step 1: Go to Edit in the menu bar and then select Preferences .
