[BUSINESS] editing a page online (a question)

[ezdoesitz]

Hello Monday , now that I got this off my mind https://www.sponsorchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=3695

I'm new to all this internet and adult plus older than most here so be gentle with this question of it is too dumb.

When modifying links on a page I open my FileZilla FTP, go to the page I want edited, right click on it and choose "view edit" do the modifications necessary and save it. Is this the right way to edit a page or not.

or you can do it in cpanel if you have cpanel on your hosted sites

I open the page in 'TextEdit' do the changes and upload it. Always keep a copy of the original page in case your changes are not right.

Just forgot to write in my first post that I always do drag the page to be edited to my desk top, then go though the process I outlined.

If you keep a copy then it is fine the way you do it. Any way you do it keep a copy just in case you need to put back the original page.

I just do it in Notepad and upload it.

Download it before modifying are the magic words, you do not want to know how many times I have messed up a page and had to download it from my backups.

When I first started out and got FTP I was told to download the file , make changes and upload it, that is how I have been doing it. It works for me.

There is no right or wrong way, whatever you are happy with and works go with it.

That goes for so many things in life.

Is Notepad the best text editor for this?

The best way and I do the same

Download, make changes, upload. My way, that way I have a local copy of the page before changes if I have to upload it.
